Human beings live conditioned by their environment. Achieving a life of harmony and well-being is an important pillar where several factors come into play. One of them is the creation and design of the spaces in which we live.

Real estate wellness promotes physical, mental and emotional well-being, taking into account, for example, natural lighting in spaces, ventilation, air quality, acoustics and access to green areas.

Although this concept is already established in large cities around the world, it is slowly beginning to gain interest among Argentine developments.

The WELL Building Institute (IWBI) created the Well certification to measure and monitor the quality of life of office workers based on their environment. “ The new generations are more aware that they want to live well . This certifies the quality of life of people in buildings,” explained Magdalena Day, director of the Mday group, at a recent event on the importance of Well in real estate development.

Well was created 10 years ago in New Orleans and has already become a global movement used by more than 120 companies around the world. It has been proven to have a direct impact on productivity and in some way helps organizations put people first.

Interest in Well certification grows in Argentina

There are currently 66 projects under WELL certification in Argentina. It has been proven that employee performance varies according to where they are, their comfort, their contact with nature, the type of ventilation and light they have access to. “ Oxygenation, for example, is an issue that is very important to us ,” added Day,

“To achieve this, it is important to personalize the offices. We installed high-rise furniture for greater mobility, thermal comfort, acoustic panels, and added to this the possibility for employees to access healthy meals and a gym,” said Maria Toniutti, from Grupo Edisur. In other words, not only does the design matter, but there must also be a comprehensive development of well-being. “ Well habits are coming and the financial system will react to this, because it is profitable ,” added Toniutti.
