The Healthy Indoors candidly addresses the increasing need for spaces designed to serve multiple and diverse uses while promoting a culture of wellbeing and innovation.

Health, wellbeing and comfort have become critical priorities in carving new spaces. Addressed through the use of carefully selected materials, systems and design strategies, these considerations are now widely implemented to augment the structures we inhabit, from our homes and workplaces to shops and healthcare centres. The Healthy Indoors provides a cleverly guided survey of projects that have successfully put the occupants’ physical and mental health at the centre of their design. 

Laying claim to significance beyond that of aesthetics, the 45 global, multi-sector case studies selected for this book are thoroughly presented, offering new ways to live, work and play over 272 full-colour pages. Photography, floor plans, concept sketches and detailed descriptions accompany the projects, giving you the overview you need to implement the lessons imparted into your own practice. 

The Healthy Indoors is divided into four chapters for easy reference: Spaces for Wellbeing features innovations in providing specialized and holistic medical care; while Spaces for Pleasure will showcase projects which aim to delight, heal and provide peace of mind. Projects with a focus on the communal experience feature in the chapter called Spaces for Connecting; meanwhile, the Spaces for the Body chapter looks to venues dedicated to reshaping one’s exterior, whether that be a nail bar, or a gym.

The architecture and design of spaces for health and wellbeing evolves constantly and we hope that readers will find The Healthy Indoors a useful and inspiring catalogue of solutions and concepts that they revisit and use for reference for years to come. In the meantime, we will continue our investigation of this crucial topic, both in Frame magazine and in future publications.
