EDITOR’S NOTE
The term “wellness” is being thrown around haphazardly these days, promising a speedy path to Zen with the sip of a smoothie, a session or two of the latest fitness trend or a weekend resort stay. While wellness-as-buzzword is beginning to lose all meaning, the concept itself is more relevant than ever in our on-the-go, tech-heavy world — probably the reason it has gained so much traction. Taking care of yourself both physically and mentally can feel like a chore, but our collection of ways to do so in the following pages aims to make it a bit easier — and enjoyable.
The properties featured in this issue are perfect examples of how well-being can connect to your address. The bucolic surrounds of a historic country estate in Auxerre, France, and a sweeping residence in New York’s Hudson River Valley ensure everyday serenity. Architecture also assists in adding calming vibes at a Bali-inspired, beachside retreat in St. John and a desert dwelling that seamlessly fades into the sands of Tucson, Arizona.
There are so many ways to cultivate a healthful home, starting with where it is: We take a tour of certain environments that are more conducive to good physical and mental health. Wherever your house may sit, there are also tips for thriving inside. Designing your kitchen around gathering with loved ones will foster a sense of togetherness, while making room for an individualized space for movement, relaxation or both will lift the tensions of each day with ease.
We also explore ways to enhance well-being further afield, starting with a list of longdistance hikes that offer an extended break from it all. For a more restful, yet regenerative, trip, a stay at one of several health spas in Europe, where therapeutic fasting and medical diagnostics help create a personalized plan, may be in order. Or a short sojourn to a color therapist, who will help tap into the energy of various hues, could ease what ails you.
Back at home, our collection of fine fragrances will aid in therapy of the aroma variety. And the groundbreaking furniture designs at MillerKnoll, created by the likes of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Charles and Ray Eames, are here to bring beautiful forms and functional comfort to your living room or office.
Whatever inspires you in this issue, we hope it serves as a reminder that feeling good doesn’t have to be complicated. Simply surrounding yourself with comforting colors or scents, friends and family, and great design can bring an abundance of wellness to your life. And as the old saying goes, the greatest wealth is health.

Were it not for the scent of sun-warmed roses and the soft chatter of the fountain, you might mistake Fontaine Madame for a dream. The castle estate rises from its own moat in the gentle hills of Burgundy, France, where vineyards quilt the slopes and the days seem to unfurl more slowly. Just over two hours from Paris by car, this is the kind of place that asks you to linger — beginning with a weekend, then for a season and, eventually, for a lifetime.
A short drive away, the town of Auxerre reveals the region’s character: medieval lanes, timber-framed façades, café terraces spilling onto cobbled squares and the meandering ribbon of the Yonne River threading past Gothic spires. It is a town that rewards curiosity. Turn a corner and you’re met with a frescoed church, lively local market or wine shop championing the growers who shape Burgundy’s viticultural scene. The rhythm here is timeless, the perfect complement to an estate whose story stretches across centuries.
Fontaine Madame began as a fortified fief house in the 15th century, when moats were as practical as they were poetic. Its water, fed by nearby springs, later morphed into a fountain — a transformation that bequeathed the property its name. In the 18th century, the ensemble of buildings took on the harmony we see today: four stone structures defining a rectangular, sunken court, the main residence mirrored by east and west outbuildings and balanced by a stately gatehouse. The drawbridge endures, a nod to the romance of defense now repurposed for a particularly impactful arrival.
Over its many years, owners have inscribed their tastes on the estate, but the most recent transformation, completed in 2021, brought a particularly deft hand. Led by a proprietor with the trained eye of an antique dealer, the renovation preserved the property’s historic fabric while quietly layering in the comforts that define luxury as we know it today. Think radiant underfloor heating beneath limestone and chevron oak; a chef’s kitchen anchored by a range of enamel and brass; discreet climate systems that hum behind substantial plaster walls; marble baths that are objets d’art in their own right.

The interiors read as a conversation between eras. Mellow beams crown salon ceilings; carved stone fireplaces hold court in rooms designed for long conversations; tall casement windows open to lawns trimmed with the precision only a French garden could accomplish. The palette is calm — chalky whites, putty, pale celadon — so that light can do what it does best in Burgundy: skim surfaces, deepen shadows and turn every afternoon into an invitation. It is elegant, not precious; comfortable, not casual — exactly the balance a historic home like Fontaine Madame deserves.
Outside, the estate feels like a private park composed of history and refined by careful attention to detail. The cour d’honneur, courtyard of honor, is planted with roses to scent arrivals and departures. A formal parterre steps away to a reflecting pond, joined to the main court by a bridge that arcs over the moat with storybook grace. Beyond, the pool beckons revelers requiring respite from the golden afternoon sun.
Venture farther and the grounds take on a pastoral composition. Ancient oaks, yews and ash trees form a romantic canopy separating the estate from the bucolic farms and vineyards surrounding it. There is a wooded allée made for horses that leads directly into a small village where errands feel more like adventures. Gardeners will find their rhythm in the enclosed orchard and vegetable garden, where seasonal produce turns abundance into an art form.
The estate’s supporting cast is practical and charming in equal measure. A fortified gatehouse announces arrival with quiet authority. Two caretakers’ cottages offer on-site accommodation for staff or extended guests. A new garage hall provides seamless utility, its contemporary function softened by proportions and materials that echo the estate’s historic origins. Everywhere, the eye meets craft: ironwork that traces curlicues as sure as a signature, limewash that lets the walls breathe as if the house itself were alive.
What remains powerfully and poignantly intact are the elements that define Fontaine Madame’s identity: the moat encircling the main house like a sparkling necklace, the chapel with its divine simplicity and exteriors that have weathered handsomely into their landscape. Yet for all its age and gravitas, the estate wears its history lightly. Mornings might begin with coffee beside the water
(moat, fountain or pool); afternoons could spill into lawn games or pages of a book; evenings may gather friends around candlelight and a bottle that tastes of Burgundy’s best.
LIFE HERE IS LESS about spectacle and more the cadence of the local market on a Saturday, a vineyard visit on a Sunday or a spontaneous detour to a riverside bistro because the light is just right. Entertaining happens effortlessly. Fontaine Madame’s schedule may include an apéritif in the salon, dinner in the chapel garden or digestifs by the fire while the fountain keeps time. Windows frame not just views, but seasons — roses flushed in June, coppered leaves in October, a winter mist that makes the moat into a mirror — and the house answers each one with its own choreography.
For the discerning buyer, Fontaine Madame offers a rare proposition: a pedigreed French estate that is both
profoundly authentic and beautifully turnkey. Its history is legible and intact; its comforts are subtly state-of-the-art; its setting grants privacy without isolation. Here, Burgundian heritage is not just a backdrop but a daily experience, savored on foot, by bicycle or from the terrace as the first guests arrive from Paris for the weekend.
No renovations are required, only the simple decision to arrive and stay. At Fontaine Madame, time doesn’t stop; it lingers and is meant to be savored with joie de vivre

HOMES THAT HEAL
Consider the ties between environment and well-being when choosing where to put down roots
By LISA KLEIN
We all know that feeling: The not-too-hot sun kissing your skin in the balmiest of climates, the utter peace of watching waves lap the coast as an ocean breeze ruffles past, breathing in the earthy scents of a dense forest.
These good vibes felt in specific locations have a lot to do with the way our brains and bodies function on a basic level. Humans have innate reactions, both good and bad, to our surroundings thanks to our shared biological heritage — and research is showing why and how this can enhance our lives, especially in today’s tech-heavy, non-natural world.
“We evolved in a particular environment, and any species evolves to be well adapted to its environment and to be attuned to what’s around it because that’s a matter of survival and thriving,” says B Sanborn, an environmental psychologist as well as principal and design research leader at U.S-based architecture, design and engineering firm DLR Group. “What’s interesting to me is we all choose to live and operate every day in an environment that is not the one we evolved in — it’s one giant experiment.”
While many still experience the wellness boost of a getaway to one of these prime places, a principal or secondary home in one of them promises to soothe your senses beyond the short term.
There are many layers to how the environment affects our wellbeing. It has a direct impact on our health through the air we
breathe, the daylight we receive and the pollutants we’re exposed to. Other effects are less obvious, but just as important.
“We get a lot of signals from our environment about whether we’re safe or not, which let us feel either more restful or more alert,” Sanborn, also the current chair of the board for the Environmental Design Research Association, says. “We get a lot of regulation from our environment, like the light and the temperature, and that changes our metabolism. We’ve also learned a lot through cognitive and neuroscience research that the shape, color, texture and patterns of our surroundings influence the way our mind is working. That can put us into different moods, but it can also overload us in terms of information and stimulation, or it can even understimulate us.”

Weather, particularly temperature and sunlight, has a huge impact on the body and mind. Humans have an automatic positive response to the most hospitable climates — where it would be easiest to survive without modern amenities. This includes places where there is minimal fluctuation in temperature, sunlight and humidity throughout the year. It can’t be too hot or cold; 70 degrees Fahrenheit has proven to be just about right.
“Our bodies, as systems, what they’re trying to do is help us survive,” Sanborn explains. “And what our body knows helps us survive is conserving energy and using it most appropriately. So, when the temperature changes, our body reacts in a way [as to] regulate our energy. Lower temperatures usually make people feel sleepier because we’re trying to conserve energy. And hot temperatures also make people feel sluggish because the body is using a lot of energy to cool itself down.”
Changes in temperature often come with changes in daylight. Most are familiar with seasonal affective disorder (SAD), in which mood is strongly affected by the dim sun of winter, but everyone can suffer from lack of light. “Direct daylight on the skin and eyes produces all these amazing reactions in the body, from our brain all the way through the system, that regulate our mood and give us all different kinds of energy,” Sanborn says. This includes the production of the essential vitamin D3, blood pressure-reducing nitric oxide, the melatonin that’s necessary for sleep, and betaendorphins and serotonin that elevate mood.
What magical place can offer this optimal atmosphere? The Mediterranean and areas with similar climates are great places to start.
Weather aside, being near large bodies of water has long been seen as a cure for various ailments and most would agree that they feel great while at the shore. One of its many mental benefits can be explained by Attention Restoration Theory (ART), first described in the late 1980s by environmental psychology duo Rachel and Stephen Kaplan. They posited that being immersed in “therapeutic environments” clears the mind and allows for relaxation — a simple enough idea, but there is science to back up why it works.
The answer lies, in part, with stochastic patterns: those that appear to be repeating, but are actually mathematically random. Such patterns can be created through intentional design, but are generally linked to natural phenomena, both visual and auditory.
Examples include the way certain tree leaves blow in the wind, rainfall, birdsong and both the movement and sound of waves — a double dose.
“There are all these rhythms of nature that follow these patterns that tend to be extremely relaxing for most people,” Sanborn says. “They seem to allow the brain to go into what, in ART, is called soft fascination.” The patterns are interesting enough to hold your attention, yet mild enough to let your mind relax, clearing your head instead of clouding it. “What we can now better see with techniques that use machine learning and image recognition technology is that these common patterns have a very calming influence on different bands of brainwave activity,” Sanborn adds. “You can actually see differences when people are exposed to these patterns.”
Where to go to get stochastic? Any coastal locale can offer a serene spot.
Spending time in any type of nature has been proven beneficial to human well-being, especially the forest, a peaceful place for most. It turns out that the towering trees that form the woods are particularly powerful. In Japan, the forest has long been revered, its benefits found to be so strong that the practice of shinrin-yoku, forest bathing, is now prescribed by medical doctors and promoted by the government. Forest bathing is simply sitting with the forest, paying attention to your surroundings and concentrating on breathing in the clear air.
Research started by Japan’s government in 2004, headed by Dr. Qing Li, has begun to explain how doing so helps the human body and brain. Trees give off essential oils called phytoncides, which they use to ward off insects, bacteria and fungi. Data has shown that for people, phytoncides can lower blood pressure, lower the stress hormone cortisol, enhance the immune system and lessen depression and anxiety. Forest air, filtered by the trees, also has higher concentrations of oxygen and lower concentrations of pollutants.
“The air we breathe heavily affects our cognitive abilities, so it’s not just healthy body-wise, but our brain function changes when we’re breathing cleaner air for longer periods of time,” Sanborn says.
How to best take a forest bath? Fully immerse yourself in the trees — the denser the better.
LIVING AMONG BEAUTIFUL surroundings that promise perfect weather, ocean views or nurturing nature can clearly contribute to overall well-being, although those vacation vibes are not easy to maintain when combined with the stressors of daily life. The key to continuing to reap these rewards is to be mindful, wherever you may be.
“There’s some evidence indicating that any time people are paying close attention to their surroundings, are tuned in, it’s typically linked to improvements in mental health,” Sanborn advises.
“People who live in very beautiful, natural settings tend to have a reason to pay attention to the beautiful things around them. That can be recreated in urban settings. People who take intentional care to notice the rhythms of daily life, that’s linked to a mood boost. It’s just easier when you live in a really beautiful forest.”

SANCTUARY SPACES
Personalized, design-forward home amenities bring well-being to the forefront
By LINSEY STONCHUS
As wellness and luxury become more and more intertwined, affluent homeowners are increasingly incorporating wellness spaces at home. Gone, however, are the days of the basic bathroom.
It is being replaced by more prominent features, with an individual’s or family’s unique lifestyle considered so that amenities align with their personal interests.
Some residences now resemble private and intimate getaways, complete with a sumptuous spa, sauna and hot tub, while others are more communal and built for connection, featuring a sports court, pool or other interactive gathering space.
Regardless of interest, top architects and designers are specializing in these amenities to meet the health-driven goals of their clients.
“Over the last five to 10 years, we’ve seen [gyms and wellness amenities] move out of the basement or corner and into more prime territory in clients’ homes,” says Matt Berman, founding principal of New York-based architecture firm Workshop/APD. “For a space that’s used daily by multiple family members, there’s much more emphasis on beautiful design, high-end finishes, natural light and even prime views. They’re meant to truly be enjoyed, not just tolerated.”
Clients take inspiration from their experiences, travel and hobbies as they approach wellness-oriented home design.
“We begin with a very personal discovery process,” Mr. Berman says. “We map how a family really lives — daily rituals, hobbies, fitness and recovery needs — and then craft amenity and wellness spaces that genuinely support those rhythms.
“Social wellness at home is huge. We’re doing both indoor and outdoor sport courts and social programming for families and guests. Movement, wellness and play have become a part of the home’s core narrative.”

Workshop/APD has supported clients in highly sought-after locations but, as expected, this often lends less space to achieve their extensive list of requests. Despite this, the team gets creative to maximize any footprint.
“In our Ocean Views project on Nantucket [Massachusetts], the clients came to us with an ambitious list of amenities they wanted to incorporate,” Mr. Berman explains. “The lot, though spectacular, couldn’t necessarily accommodate everything they wanted above ground, so we developed a plan that includes a relatively modest, 4,000-square-foot home above ground and more than 9,000 square feet of additional space below ground. The program is full of private wellness amenities, including a spa, massage room, gym and subterranean sport court. Even when clients come to us with specific amenities in mind, we try to make each space as flexible and multipurpose as possible. For example, the sport court is designed to be used for basketball, pickleball, climbing, movie night and much more.”
Similarly, in an Upper West Side triplex in New York, the firm had to think outside of the box to ensure the residence supported the family’s active lifestyle. This time, instead of going underground, the design encouraged its residents to reach for the ceiling.
“Urban constraints demanded vertical thinking: The turret was historically underutilized as a sort of living room, but its height and geometry made it perfect for climbing,” Mr. Berman says. “The layout allowed us to stack the amenity above living rather than compete for footprint. The wall solved for movement, strength and play without sacrificing primary rooms — and it became a sculptural centerpiece that expresses the family’s identity.”
“You can’t help but smile when you enter that room,” he continues. “For a family with young, active children, it felt like the perfect place to incorporate fitness and play areas. By shaping the turret volume around a soaring, double-sided climbing wall, the team managed to turn that vertical circulation into a joyful, kinetic activity space for the whole family. The kids can now climb, practice gymnastics and play basketball in a space that does double duty as a hangout.”
Cooldown and recovery are just as important as exercise. Spa amenities help relax the body and mind post activity.
“Recovery-first planning, including cold plunge, hydrotherapy and infrared saunas, have become standard,” Mr. Berman says of more relaxing additions.
According to Workshop/APD, other trending spa amenities include meditation rooms, yoga decks and massage rooms.
“In so many cases, wellness and recovery are inseparable from fitness,” Mr. Berman adds.
In a luxury chalet tucked into a pine forest in Kyiv, Ukraine, design and architecture firm OLT Design ensured the home felt like its own getaway. The ground floor includes a standout feature: a sauna with a dramatic Himalayan pink salt wall extending floor to ceiling. When illuminated from behind, the salt emits a soft, warm glow.
“Himalayan salt walls are very healthy,” says Tetiana Oliinyk, founder and leading architect at the Ukraine-based firm.
“Our client wanted to make the Himalayan salt wall something special, an accent that he can take pride in. It beautifully pulls together the space while boosting health.”

The spectacular sight is one of many unique and captivating choices from OLT Design. The Shangri-La Villa in Dubai features a jaw-dropping sports and spa complex within its premises.
The spa, like many rooms in the villa, is heavily inspired by nature, prominently featuring a large aquarium filled with jellyfish, coffee tables made of tree trunks, natural stone walls, outdoor views and lush plants. “We find natural materials and greenery are important to include,” Ms. Oliinyk says of OLT’s wellness spaces. “Nature means eternity.”
Among the most unique areas of the spa are the snow room, with — yes — real snow, and a hay room, which is filled with dried, fragrant herbs. “It’s about the senses,” Ms. Oliinyk says. “The hay room provides natural aromas. We’re also seeing the incorporation of aromas in the ventilation system to make a space more cozy.”
Whether full of energy or made for relaxation, there are many small details that establish the tone of a wellness space, including those that are purposefully hidden from view.
“Light and acoustics are foundational,” Mr. Berman says. “You want the right color and temperature to set the mood, enhance the decor, flatter inhabitants and support their typical activities. Materiality and texture breathe life into modern design. This is at the heart of our ‘crafted modern’ ethos. Highly functional, invisible technology matters. Nothing should be overly complicated or it will not be used. This includes integrated controls, lighting, sound, water and even scent concealed so spaces remain restorative.”
Ms. Oliinyk expands on important considerations: “The lighting system should have dimmers so that you can adjust them accordingly. Small lights should be placed everywhere, but in a warm temperature. The space can be further elevated with an underlying natural texture of earthy materials, natural stones and herbs.
“You need to carefully consider everything,” she adds. “The textures, atmosphere, acoustic system, lighting — it’s like an orchestra. When everybody plays, it brings together a nice melody.”
AN EXPERTLY DESIGNED wellness space promises good habits and a better-lived life. “It’s all about our health — psychological, emotional and physical, of course,” Ms. Oliinyk says. “Our clients work a lot, sitting at computers and in their cars. When they return home, they want to be healthy, to move and breathe and relax. Home is where they enjoy and restore themselves. That’s why these spaces are needed within their homes.”
At a time when the world around us is so loud, it is more important than ever to have a special, personal place to unwind and truly get away from it all.
As Mr. Berman says, “Being able to escape in your own home is incredibly luxurious.”

This could be the most beautiful seaside property currently for sale between Nice and the Principality of Monaco. A true rarity in the extremely saturated French Riviera market, this magnificent Belle Époque villa was built in 1911, during the Riviera’s golden age, and then completely renovated in 2016 to a very high standard by the renowned Italian architect Alberto Mariotti. But what makes this property absolutely unique and incomparable is its generous 16,500-sq.-m. grounds. This exceptional estate is just a three-minute walk from a fine sandy beach and sits a mere 33 meters above sea level, a geographical feature that is now virtually impossible to find on the French Riviera.
This spectacular penthouse at 101 Central Park West has come to market for the first time in over 45 years. Perched atop one of the avenue’s most iconic and prestigious buildings between 70th and 71st Streets, this impressive penthouse residence offers grandly scaled rooms, a wraparound terrace and sweeping, unobstructed views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline framed by magnificent, oversized floor-toceiling windows.

DESIGN
SCULPTED BY THE SONORAN
An Arizona abode blends modern life seamlessly into the surrounding desert
By AMELIA BOO
By the time Tucson’s morning light turns the Catalina foothills the color of burnished copper, the city has already eased into its signature rhythm filled with open-air cafés, art-house matinees and trailheads that begin where the pavement ends. It’s a place that prizes culture without pretense and outdoor living without limits: opera and rodeo, symphony and stargazing, a year-round calendar of festivals and a climate made for life outside. It’s no wonder why locals like to say the sky is their greatest room.
Campbell Cliffs sits at the far end of that sky, where neighborhood gives way to wilderness and the land rears up in serrated stone. The residence doesn’t so much occupy its site as arise from it — literally springing from the rock, with over a million protected acres of the Coronado National Forest as its backyard and the entire Tucson Valley unfurling below. Seen from a distance, the home’s planes read as extensions of the cliffs that cradle them; up close, they reveal a rigor of craft and a quiet reverence for the terrain.
Designed by Les Wallach, FAIA, of Line and Space, the architecture answers to the desert with decisiveness and care. Rooflines are broad and hovering, casting deep shade; volumes are terraced rather than towered; the palette — stone, concrete, wood and stainless steel — echoes what the site offers and what the climate demands.
A stainless-steel roof, engineered with fully welded seams, glints like a mirage in the high sun, while tempered, low-emissivity glazing turns the horizon itself into a design element. The effect is paradoxical and perfect, powerful and bold, yet amazingly at ease in its setting.
The architecture was designed to become one with its surroundings

The way the house meets the land tells a larger story. Rather than scrape the site clean, the build proceeded surgically. Existing cacti and native trees were preserved in a nursery and returned to their original home once construction concluded, a choice that wasn’t just aesthetic, but ethical. “The owners have lived in Tucson for 40 years,” explains Martha Briggs, the listing agent with Long Realty Company. “They wanted their home to disturb the desert as little as possible. This place is special, and they treated it that way.”
Old Jeep paths guided the driveway’s alignment, moments of former industry made new in the form of a water feature at the entry, and the home was nestled into bedrock with a light touch so the mountain kept its identity.
Inside, the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright is unmistakable — and intentional. Interior designer Elizabeth Rosensteel, previously the head of Taliesin West, the famed architect’s former winter home in Scottsdale, brought her deep knowledge of Wright’s principles into the home’s proportion, materials and relationship to the landscape. “Both the architect and the
designer were influenced by Wright,” Ms. Briggs notes. “It’s why the house will look just as contemporary in 50 years — it’s timeless.”
The house is a study in continuity. Floors and ceilings slip past glass into terraces, so you move through light rather than into it, and the boundary between interior and exterior blurs to the point of benevolent confusion. More than 600 linear feet of floor-to-ceiling windows and upwards of 35 skylights pull the desert inward, their alignments calibrating sun, shade and view with the precision of a sundial. An art gallery, 65 feet long, doubles as the north wall to the principal living spaces, proof that this is architecture designed for living with art (a Fritz Scholder, perhaps?) and landscape in equal measure.
Materially, the composition is sensorial and sincere. Coconino sandstone, quarried in northern Arizona and cut into weighty blocks set by a master Vietnamese mason, sets a muscular base note, Douglas-fir ceilings in vertical grain add warmth and concrete shifts tactility from broken-rib to sandblasted to perfectly smooth, registering the sun like skin. The colors — shale, sage, tawny sand — feel borrowed from the
nearby escarpments; the finishes read as collected rather than contrived. This is desert modernism that refutes the gloss of trend and opts instead for time.
Scale here serves experience. Yes, the home is expansive (covering more than 9,000 square feet), but the planning is agile. A main living room flows to an outdoor counterpart that overlooks the city, separated by a glass wall that retracts until the line all but disappears. The cantilevered, sculptural fireplace hovers, quietly dividing living from dining, where 20 can gather at a table inside or on a cooled terrace. When the party grows, the house obliges: there is standing room for a gala, yet conversations still find corners that feel intimate.
Entertaining has a dedicated domain: A 3,000-square-foot center with a sunken bar, concealed cinema and city-light views serves an irresistible invitation to stretch a celebration from dusk into dawn. Nearby, a large, commercial-grade kitchen is a chef’s dream: granite worktops, professional appliances and zones for baking, roasting and plating with theater-ready ease. This is a home that understands hospitality as an art and provisions it accordingly.
3 4
Private life receives equal care. A palatial primary suite unspools across sitting areas, decks to the north and south, a spa bath with deluge shower and a hidden stair to a sun deck made for first coffees and meteor showers. Guest quarters with fireplaces, gardens and aerie-level views extend an earth-warmed welcome. Throughout, cabinetry is not storage but joinery art: fir, maple, reclaimed long-leaf pine and rare mahogany, all crafted by specialists.
True to Tucson’s wellness-forward lifestyle, the amenity set privileges movement and recovery with uncommon range: a two-level gym with sauna and steam, a tennis court carved into rock and naturally wind-sheltered, and a multi-level pool terrace finished in hand-set, sand-blasted stone to stay cool underfoot. For sport, there’s even a sound-insulated, climate-controlled indoor gun/ archery range; for liquid contemplation, a 2,200-bottle wine cellar that invites as much study as celebration. Outdoor kitchens, fireside lounges and nearly 6,000 square feet of decks braid the day from swim to supper without ever leaving the line of sight to canyon or city. Behind the scenes, systems rise to the level of craft. Lighting is computer-orchestrated yet effortlessly tactile in each room. Twentytwo separate HVAC zones balance comfort with whisper-quiet performance, and security, communications and life-safety features are engineered with the completeness of a boutique hotel. Even the garages think ahead, with detailing bays and EV charging — proof that the house is as serious about function as it is about form.
WHAT ULTIMATELY MAKES Campbell Cliffs singular is not its square footage or its features, though both are rare, but its stance toward place. The architecture doesn’t merely survive the desert; it collaborates with it. Views are curated rather than collected; shade is drawn as a line, not an afterthought; materials belong as much to climate as to craft. In a city that pairs blue-chip art with 350 days of sun, the home channels the best of both — gallery and getaway, sculpture and shelter — rendered in stone, steel, glass and the moving light of Tucson’s vast sky.
“The sum is greater than the parts,” Ms. Briggs reflects. “It’s hard to pick one thing that makes the home special. It all works together.”
In a landscape that rewards attention, Campbell Cliffs returns it; an impeccable desert original, designed for a life lived beautifully at the edge of wilderness yet the center of everything.
The revolutionary modernist designs at Knoll and Herman Miller — now MillerKnoll — forever changed the way we furnish our lives
By LISA KLEIN
FUNCTION >FORM
Modernist design, defined by clean lines, minimal ornamentation and, above all, form following function, began making its mark in the 1920s and ’30s, soon to enhance homes and office spaces with its streamlined style. Although its stark look and use of industrial materials initially shocked both the design community and general public, its functionality — and appearance — would quickly win the world over.

“When modernism arrived, it shifted ideas around beauty and comfort,” says Amy Auscherman, director of archives and brand heritage for American furniture manufacturer MillerKnoll. “In the late 1800s and early 1900s, homes were filled with ornate pieces meant to show status, such as carved wood and heavy fabrics. [Designers] started asking a different question: How can design make life better? Their answer was focused on simplicity and function.”
Furniture makers Knoll and Herman Miller emerged as paragons of this new world, spurred on by a post-World War II era of social, economic and technological shifts. Their roster of designers was a who’s who of modernism, their creations becoming essential touchpoints in the design lexicon.
Nearly a century later, these two companies came together to form MillerKnoll in 2021, representing the union of some of the most influential and innovative names in furniture. Looking back, it seems almost inevitable that they would eventually join forces, their design destinies linked from their very beginnings.

Hans’ business sense and Florence’s design genius took Knoll to new heights 5
The roots of Knoll, Herman Miller and much of midcentury modernism itself can be traced back to a singular, unassuming place: Cranbrook Academy of Arts in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Founded by American publishing magnates George and Ellen Booth in 1932, the school is part of a larger educational complex designed by Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen. He became president of the school and created its original curriculum which, rather than lectures and tests, consisted mostly of unstructured time in the studio under the mentorship of working artists and designers — an environment where inventiveness flourished.
Many of its early attendees were influenced by the German Bauhaus movement, which aimed to improve daily life through design and subscribed to the concept of gesamtkunstwerk — all elements of design, architecture and decoration combining into a “total work of art.” Its members included pioneering architects Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, both of whom moved to the United States before World War II.

Florence Knoll created entire modernist worlds with her “total design” Planning Unit
Encouraged to collaborate, Cranbrook students, such as Eliel’s son, Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray (then Kaiser) Eames, Harry Bertoia, Ralph Rapson and Florence Schust (Knoll) experimented with machineage materials, new techniques and furniture forms that shaped to the human body. This creative kismet quickly made Cranbrook the epicenter of modernism stateside.
Around the same time, two business visionaries were setting the stage to bring these radical ideas into households and office buildings across the nation.
In 1938, Hans Knoll, whose family ran a furniture company in Germany, founded his own version in New York with the intent to introduce imported modernist pieces from Europe. He had to pivot due to the war, and found his head of design closer to home in Florence Schust, whom he would later marry. She recruited other Cranbrook alums, all working under the encouragement of Hans.
“Coming from a family deeply rooted in furniture design, [Hans] infused the industry with a distinct passion and vision,” Ms. Auscherman says. “Take his collaboration with other designers: He was always pushing them to think about things in new ways. Hans and Florence Knoll both embraced the pioneering principles of the Bauhaus movement to deliver the beauty, functionality and benefits to the way we live and work.”
Florence especially gravitated toward the concept of total architecture, heading Knoll’s Planning Unit, crafting her own allencompassing design method where every piece had a purpose.
“Her design philosophy centered around total design: The idea that architecture, furniture, artwork and the color, materials and finishes all contribute to creating a cohesive environment,” Ms. Auscherman says. “She brought these total designs to life in a unique Florence Knoll way through paste-ups: a signature method developed to create a miniature, bird’s-eye-like view of the interior, complete with fabric swatches and wood chips to act as furniture. Her work brought clarity to homes and offices alike, replacing decorative excess with proportion and functionality.”
Earlier, in 1923, Dirk Jan (D.J.) De Pree had convinced his father-in-law, Herman Miller, to purchase the Michigan Star Furniture Company, where he had worked his way up to president and wanted to move on from the traditional, copycat sets it was making.
“D.J. De Pree combined sharp business acumen with an enduring commitment to his values,” Ms. Auscherman says. “His belief that all were extraordinary influenced everything that he did and had significant impacts on both his family and business. A lifelong learner, he was always seeking out opportunities to grow.”
De Pree saw how his fellow Michiganders at Cranbrook were shaping modernist design and was intrigued. A nudge from industrial designer Gilbert Rohde pushed him further. When he read about a groundbreaking idea from George Nelson — the Storagewall modular system — he knew he had to tap him to head design at Herman Miller, encouraging Nelson to follow through on his many “zaps” of inspiration in the subsequent decades and to enlist Cranbrook alums such as husbandand-wife powerhouse Charles and Ray Eames (since 1956, Herman Miller and Swiss brand Vitra have worked together as the authentic sources of designs by Nelson, the Eamses and Alexander Girard). 8
Central to the success of both companies was their response to a changing world with new materials, such as bent plywood and tubular steel, shaped to the lifestyles of the 1940s and ‘50s.
“These materials emerged from wartime research and industrial production, and they offered new possibilities: strength without bulk, flexibility without ornament and forms that could be efficiently made at scale,” Ms. Auscherman says. “But this wasn’t simply about novelty or cost. Designers like Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, and Florence Knoll understood these materials as a means to express modern life itself — lighter, more mobile and more democratic.”
Each piece they created had a simplified structure, yet moved toward improving comfort and usability, following Charles Eames’ philosophy that “The role of the designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests.” The function of each piece of furniture was paramount. Minimal designs also meant that every component played a part and craftsmanship had to be impeccable — qualities that would generate some of the most iconic furniture designs to date.
Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair, originally made in 1929, was a defining moment in modernist design with its chrome-plated, criss-cross frame and leather cushions that mold to the curved back when occupied. Thanks to Florence’s friendship with the legend, Knoll earned the rights to produce the entire collection in 1953. Eero Saarinen’s 1946 Womb Chair satisfied Florence’s request for a “basket full of pillows” with steel and sleek upholstery, while his 1958 Pedestal Collection solved his wish to clear up the “slum of legs” underneath furniture with solitary curved bases. Harry Bertoia managed to create comfortable chairs out of sculpted steel wire for his 1952 collection.
At Herman Miller, George Nelson introduced his wood-slatted platform bench in 1946, which could function as a cushioned seat, a table or a base for his revolutionary modular cabinet system. His 1956 Marshmallow Sofa, created with a young Irving Harper and consisting of “floating” foam pads on a steel frame, came about from the duo’s experimentation with new injection plastic technology. The Eamses often worked with molded plywood, shaping it to accommodate the human form. Their 1947 series of chairs, tables and a folding screen have become classics of the era. None is more classic, though, than their 1956 Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, designed to resemble a baseball mitt and welcome the body into its curves.
Knoll and Herman Miller responded to rapidly evolving office life as well, redefining what those spaces looked like. Florence’s Planning Unit was pivotal in this shift, her total designs allowing for full-floor flow and furniture creations such as the Executive Desk anticipating real work functions in lieu of bulky, ornate show pieces. Herman Miller began installing modular systems in the ‘40s — a precursor to the cubicle — culminating in the 1968 Action Office System by designer Robert Probst, a flexible system that would alter office design from then on.
“The period after WWII transformed how Americans lived and worked,” Ms. Auscherman says of the connections between the two. “Residential designs moved toward openness influenced offices to adopt comfort and flexibility, while workplace innovations, like modular systems and new materials, found their way into kitchens and living rooms.
“The need was cultural as much as practical,” she adds. “Life was becoming less formal, and design responded with spaces that supported movement, interaction and beauty.”

Changes were coming for Knoll and Herman Miller, too. Hans Knoll was tragically killed in a car crash in 1955. Florence took over running the company, retiring in 1965 shortly after her Planning Unit completed the interiors of the CBS building (designed by Eero Saarinen) in New York — considered her crowning achievement. In 1962, D.J. De Pree’s son, Hugh, took over for him as president and CEO of Herman Miller.
However, both companies never stopped looking towards the future and adapting design to contemporary life.

Inspired by the growing needs of office workers and the humancentered credo of the modernists, functional furniture moved a step further with ergonomics. “Ergonomics is about creating products that work with the body, not against it — designing furniture that quietly supports people so they can focus, move and feel better throughout their day,” explains Sean McDowell, senior vice president of innovation and sustainability at MillerKnoll.
Bill Stump’s 1976 Ergon Chair for Herman Miller marked a radical shift in how work seating was designed, its contoured polyurethane foam molded to support the lumbar spine and pelvis, distribute weight more evenly and move with the sitter.
Material innovations and extensive scientific research in the following decades changed the game for a design mission of ultimate functionality. “Creating an ergonomic piece of furniture begins with a deep understanding of the human body,” Mr. McDowell says. “We study how people sit, move and distribute weight over time, as well as how those patterns change throughout the day. Those insights are then translated into design solutions that support natural posture, reduce strain and respond to real human behavior.”
The Aeron chair, introduced in 1994, took these findings to new heights with breathable suspension seating and back support that corrects posture. 2008’s Embody chair has a pixelated design that encourages micro-movement while sitting, boosting circulation and reducing fatigue. Both follow in the footsteps of original modernist seating, with every element serving a purpose and the needs of the
“Ultimately, ergonomic design changes the relationship people have with furniture,” Mr. McDowell adds. “It’s the difference between something you simply sit on and something that actively supports
relationship with furniture, Knoll and Herman Miller have brought innovators Colebrook Bosson Saunders, DatesWeiser and Geiger, textile and material specialists Edelman, FilzFelt, Maharam and Spinneybeck, the furniture of Hay, Holly Hunt, Muuto and NaughtOne, retail floors of Design Within Reach — and, most recently, each other. This collective continues on with the visionary ideas cultivated at Cranbrook that initiated a legacy of design that has stood the test of time.
“Iconic products like the Knoll Womb Chair or Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman were born out of modernist principles,” Ms. Auscherman says. “This made them adaptable across decades and spaces, whether they were placed in a midcentury home or private office. Add to that the integrity of materials that age gracefully, and you have designs that transcend trends.”
And still today as much as ever, she adds, “What makes MillerKnoll unique is the harmony between distinct voices, all united by a belief

HEART OF THE HOME
The room at the center of it all, the kitchen is getting the design treatment it deserves
By LISA KLEIN
While perhaps a cliché at this point, calling the kitchen the “heart of the home” is no less true — in fact, it’s truer than ever. The historic nexus of heat, light and nourishment, the kitchen has evolved over the past century-plus to become an even greater part of both daily life and memory-making occasions that congregate a crowd.
It is a safe space where people instinctively gather, be it for a quick dinner or formal party, to partake in one of the most fulfilling necessities of life: eating.
“We all love food,” says Laura McCroskey, principal of McCroskey Interiors in Kansas City, Missouri. “Eating is pleasure; eating is joy. I think that’s why food brings people together. It’s like a neutral thing that all human beings can come together and agree upon — that they like to eat.”
Research has shown that food, as a universal language, really does make us feel connected to others. We learn about other cultures through their cuisine, share thoughts — and servings — with friends new and old, make memories over meals. According to multiple studies, eating a meal with others enhances bonds between people and increases the feeling of belonging to a community. A 2017 University of Oxford study found that the more often people eat with others, the more likely they are to be happy and satisfied with life — no surprise, as a strong social network has been shown to improve both physical and mental health.
Whether consciously or not, these social connections to eating have always made the kitchen an important part of the home, although maybe not aesthetically. Back when affluent households had a large workforce, kitchens were tiny and hidden away. “They weren’t paying attention to the design because they weren’t doing the cooking if they had the staff to do it,” Ms. McCroskey says. “It really was only a functional space. As things have morphed, people are doing their own cooking and entertaining and it’s become a ‘thing’ — it’s a passion for people, a hobby. It’s a luxury; it’s not just a chore anymore.”
Of course, a kitchen’s functionality continues to be key to getting any party — whether weeknight meal or grand soirée — going. When starting from scratch, preplanning the layout will set the space up for success. “We always have people walk out two or three recipes with us,” Ms. McCroskey says of her process. “You’ll realize, ‘Oh gosh, I’m going back and forth to the pantry too much, so maybe I need something near the cooktop.’ It’s tedious, but it really catches a lot of problems.”
In lieu of the classic kitchen triangle setup — straight, unobstructed lines between refrigerator, sink and stove — people are paying more attention to kitchen zones. Every task has its own spot that contains all of the necessary tools at the ready and within arm’s reach. Zones often include food storage (both cold and dry together), food prep (with counterspace, knives, measuring tools), cooking, cleanup (sink, garbage can, sprays) and serving (plates, cups, napkins). Specialty zones, such as baking areas, coffee stations or beverage bars, are a major bonus.
“The goal is to never leave the space where the task is at hand,” Ms. McCroskey says. “So, if you’re at a beverage center, the milk needs to be there, the glasses for the coffee need to be there, the trash to empty the coffee grounds need to be there, a sink needs to be there to empty the coffee pot. You want everything around you, and that helps for guests, too.”
To keep that functionality mindset for visitors, designers recommend mapping out a party just like a recipe. “It makes it easier to host large parties, but also makes sure we’ve integrated it so it’s still all attractive,” says Mara Miller, founding co-principal of New York-based Carrier and Company.
“It might be that there are three warming drawers, we have enough pantry space, we’ve got enough freezer space; maybe it means we’re getting a larger, wider refrigerator so that trays can fit.”
Kitchen zones meant specifically for entertaining (although multi-use, of course) ensure guests have a place to hang out without being in the way of the chef.
Old-school sculleries, or back kitchens, are making a comeback as a place to hide the prep and dirty-dish mess, while open shelving or glass-fronted doors in the main kitchen act as a new-age china cabinet, allowing either host or helpful guest to grab plates, glasses, napkins and serveware without fuss.

The designers also recommend a zone specifically for food display. If that ends up being the main island that everyone encircles, a chef’s sink with snap-in covers to add flat space will do the trick. If the room allows, Ms. Miller likes the two-island trend. “You can have one island that’s more like wet bar with a sink and undercounter fridge, and that’s where you can keep guests with buffet-style snacks or drinks. And you can have another island where you’re getting things done, or if you’ve got some friends or guests who are wonderful cooks, they’re there helping you while everyone else is milling around the other.”
A beverage zone with open or bistrostyle shelving adds another place to stock party essentials — complete with its own mini-fridge, sink and garbage. Guests can mingle while grabbing their own beer, wine, cocktails, soda, water, coffee and snacks.
When it’s time to take a seat, the designers think soft. Building a banquette into a kitchen nook creates a private, separated spot. Ms. Miller often takes that a step further with unexpected furniture. “We’ll put a sofa or we’ll do a pair of club
chairs with an ottoman,” she says. “If we have the space where we can make a little vignette with lounge seating, that’s where everybody goes to drink and chat. It really warms up the room and helps integrate it in to feel like a part of the home and not just a utilitarian space.”
Treating the kitchen like the center of attention it is also means remembering that it should blend seamlessly into the surrounding spaces. While practical in nature, the kitchen is also a warm, inviting place; it should look like it.
“Color is an important element, not necessarily for the sake of color itself, as much as a way to connect the room to the rest of the décor of the house,” Ms. Miller advises. “If it’s a house with a lot of earth tones, we’re not going to do a sharp white kitchen. Conversely, if it’s very bright, we also have clients who love white and light finishes…but we use a lot of dusty or chalky colors to add some tonality. [Either way], incorporating the finishes that you see throughout the home into the kitchen is key.”
McCroskey Interiors uses a wide variety of materials to liven it up: stained woods in shades from bleached to pitch-dark, swirling natural marbles for counters and wall panels, unique fixtures in gleaming brass to matte black. “You can do whatever you want to do with stone and materials — it’s just unbelievable,” Ms. McCroskey says. “The sky’s the limit now.”
The designers also emphasize lighting beyond the standard, stark overhead cans. Hanging chandeliers and pendants adds flair, while undercabinet lighting allows for visibility without harsh beams — so long as the undertones are warm and everything can be lowered at the twist of a dimmer. Strategic mirrors will both catch and soften the light for an atmospheric effect.
THE HOMEOWNERS’ personalities should also shine through. Having pieces of furniture, whether a butcher-block island, standalone wood cabinet or tufted chair, creates character. Useful collectibles, such as vases, bowls or decorative plates, display memories. “And we always hang artwork,” Ms. Miller adds. “That really does make it feel like a finished instead of a utilitarian space.”
While a kitchen can be the most challenging room to design due to its appliances, complex layout and many jobs, it is also the most rewarding thanks to its importance in both daily life and special celebrations — things that will manifest differently in every house.
“What I really enjoy about the [kitchen] process is that intimacy with our client — their personal preferences, their family traditions, their points of pride,” Ms. Miller says. “I guess that’s part of what makes [the kitchen] the heart of the home. It’s really this intimate, shared experience.”

BEACH BLISS
A seaside getaway brings the attitude of Bali to the Caribbean
By KIRAN GILL
St. John is an island paradise where crystal-clear, azure water kisses the sandy shoreline and days pass in a state of tranquility. As the smallest of the three main U.S. Virgin Islands, spanning approximately 20 square miles, the island boasts a tight-knit community that values both privacy and the beauty of the natural world. It is here, just mere steps from the Caribbean Sea, that one can find the peaceful oasis that is the newly built Indo House. Yet, the 4,427-square-foot abode stands apart from the island’s traditional fare, as the property was crafted in the style of another tropical locale: Bali. With its materials, fixtures and airy atmosphere, the space marries a Southeast Asian design ethos with a contemporary point of view and modern finishes.
“While Balinese architecture isn’t traditional to the Caribbean, it feels remarkably at home on St. John,” says Abigail Schnell O’Connell, the home’s listing broker at Sea Glass Properties. “The style emphasizes indoor–outdoor living, natural materials, open air flow and a strong connection to the landscape — principles that mirror how people naturally live in the tropics.”

to Balinese design make the home unique among its Caribbean counterparts
The four-bedroom, four-and-a-halfbathroom property is defined by its aesthetic sensibility and textural depth, from the hand-woven bamboo ceilings to the warm wood flooring and cabinets. Expansive glass windows, stretching from floor to ceiling, flood the property with light and allow the natural environment to peek through. The primary bedroom extends the living space to enhance the ocean views with an unobstructed outdoor lounge, creating the perfect environment to watch the sunset before enjoying a glass of wine while stargazing.
Indo House is a restful retreat that has thoughtfully made room for a separate office and a full-size walk-in laundry room to aid in one’s day-to-day responsibilities. A sculptural floating ipe wood staircase is the property’s pièce de résistance, acting as both functional art and an architectural centerpiece. The combination of the home’s elevated finishes and open layout allow the sea and sunlight to ensconce the house with a tranquil ambience.
“The home’s warm woods, organic textures and pavilion-style spaces allow breezes, light and ocean views to move freely through the interiors,” Ms. Schnell O’Connell adds. “Rather than competing with the setting, the design complements it, creating a calm, resort-like atmosphere that feels both elevated and completely relaxed.”
At Indo House, entertaining is also effortless with pocket doors opening for a seamless blending of indoor and outdoor living. Guests are encouraged to travel through and around the house to the covered veranda and the infinity-edge pool, which lays claim to its own white-sand beach. Alfresco dining, barbecues and long nights of engaging conversations are all possible here. A separate service entrance and outdoor kitchen by the gunite pool further enhance hosting capabilities.
Indo House’s beautiful water views are courtesy of the property’s location in the sought-after Chocolate Hole neighborhood that rests alongside Great Cruz Bay Harbor. While the home provides privacy, it also boasts close proximity to the main town in St. John, allowing the homeowner and their guests ample ways to take advantage of Cruz Bay’s many offerings.
“Great Cruz Bay and Chocolate Hole offer one of the most desirable lifestyles on St. John because they balance convenience with a true sense of retreat. You’re just minutes from Cruz Bay’s restaurants, shops and ferry access, yet the setting feels quiet, residential and tucked away along the shoreline,” Ms. Schnell O’Connell says. “Living here means easy, everyday access to the water, steady trade winds and quick drives to the North Shore’s world-renowned national park beaches. It’s a small, established community where privacy and natural beauty are part of daily life.”
Indo House is additionally well-equipped for those seafaring fiends who yearn for the open waters. The property’s beachfront access can accommodate a dock, allowing homeowners to jump on a boat and traverse the bay or beyond to the North Shore beaches. Boat lovers can also satiate their wanderlust with further adventures by islandhopping across the British Virgin Islands.
“WHAT SETS THIS home apart is the rare combination of distinctive design and true waterfront living,” Ms. Schnell O’Connell says.
“It offers architectural character you don’t often find on the island paired with the simplicity of stepping directly into the sea or onto a boat at a moment’s notice.”
As St. John delivers idyllic nature, stunning views and serenity, Indo House ensures the perfect base to embrace the best of island life: hiking, swimming, surfing and more. The house’s modern amenities and luxurious setting provide the backdrop for a restorative, reposeful stay. Whether the property is a forever or holiday home, it will set the stage for a halcyon time.
“It feels private and serene, yet incredibly connected — to the water, the landscape and the relaxed rhythm of life on St. John,” Ms. Schnell O’Connell says. “It’s less about owning a house and more about embracing a lifestyle that’s both refined and effortless.”
THE doCTor IS IN
Diagnostics and science-based treatments
are ushering in a new era of holistic health travel
By KIRAN GILL
For centuries, aristocrats and artists would regularly “take the waters” at resorts centered around natural mineral springs throughout Europe. Relaxation seekers decamped to grand spa towns to soak, stroll and recuperate, often for weeks at a time, guided by a combination of ritual and tradition.
Some of today’s most-regarded retreats trace their lineage to these early centers, but their philosophy has shifted decisively. The modern wellness traveler is not seeking passive restoration or indulgence; they are looking for measurable outcomes and tools for lifelong health, all delivered within the framework of hospitality.
What has emerged is a new category of destination: intelligence-driven spas and retreats that sit at the intersection of luxury travel, preventive medicine and longevity science. These are places where blood panels and metabolic testing carry as much weight as massages, and where success is defined less by pampering than by progress.
“More travelers are seeking more than momentary relaxation; they are looking for meaningful change that improves how they feel and function every day,” says Dr. Dieter Resch, CEO of Mayrlife in the mountains of Austria, with day clinics in Vienna and London. “Basic spa treatments can offer comfort, but they do not address the underlying drivers of stress, inflammation, metabolic slowdown or persistent fatigue, and as awareness around longevity and preventive health grows, travelers increasingly value programs grounded in medical expertise, personalized diagnostics and targeted therapies. These approaches provide clarity, direction and outcomes that extend far beyond a traditional wellness stay.”
Today’s travelers are time constrained and results oriented. They arrive at a spa with clear objectives: improved energy, deeper sleep, metabolic health, stress reduction, long-term disease maintenance or prevention. Increasingly, they are also seeking programs that fuse holistic philosophies with the most cuttingedge science. Medical wellness retreats appeal to this mindset because they promise structure, accountability and evidence-based interventions. The focus is not on escape alone, but on education and optimization. Guests are not simply treated; they are assessed, monitored and taught how to sustain change.

At their core, these centers share a defining characteristic: measurement. Diagnostics, testing and data collection distinguish them from traditional spas, positioning them as immersive health laboratories as much as luxury escapes. Testing, often at the onset of a client’s stay, offers a spa the ability to determine an individual’s baseline and is then followed by a series of routine check-ins and, in some cases, end-of-stay tests to quantify results. This is also used to inform what happens during the rest of the stay.
“Test results are incorporated 100 percent into the treatment plan,” says Christian Siegling, CEO of Lanserhof in Austria and Germany. “It is not uncommon for us to discover that a guest has intolerances that have a massive impact on them, but which they were not aware of or could not identify. We consider genetic and proteomic testing to be extremely important. They help define the individual characteristics of a person’s aging process and enable us to offer personalized medical longevity treatments. For us, longevity is not a universal trend, but a medical specialty in its own right.”
At Buchinger Wilhelmi, with locations in Germany, Spain and slated to open in France, fasting remains central to the program, reflecting founder Dr. Otto Buchinger’s personal experience with therapeutic fasting. What distinguishes the institute today is its integration of research into practice. The center maintains its own research and development department and operates with an opensource approach to its findings, contributing to broader scientific discourse around fasting and metabolic health.
“Nowadays, if you develop a new medical approach, you do extensive research and studies, but with our method, it was the other way around,” says Leonard Wilhelmi, CEO of Buchinger Wilhelmi. “My great-grandfather, Otto, was a pioneer in fasting in the early days, using his own experience, which he then supplemented with decades of clinical experience. From Otto’s experience, fasting developed into a scientifically proven method, and we now have over 100 years of clinical experience and the scientific knowledge, having published 21 studies in medical journals about the effects of fasting.”
Lanserhof combines a holistic framework with fasting, blending medical oversight with integrative therapies. Its model reflects a belief that lasting health demands addressing the body as an interconnected system rather than a collection of isolated symptoms.
“The intestine is one of our most important organs, not least because it ensures our general well-being,” Mr. Siegling says.

“With fasting, our metabolism is restarted, the body’s own cell cleansing is stimulated — which is great for the immune system and helps prevent disease — and fat burning is activated. However, it has also been proven to strengthen the psyche and mental health.
“You are what you eat,” he adds. “We pay very close attention to where our food comes from and we gently reintroduce the body to food. But it’s not just about the food itself; it’s also about how we eat and when we eat. Do we chew enough? How do we start the day and how often do we eat?”
Mayrlife builds on the early-20th-century principles of Dr. Franz Xaver Mayr, focusing on gut health, metabolism and the nervous system. While the core tenets — resting and strengthening the gut, supporting detoxification and restoring balance — remain intact, the approach has evolved through the integration of modern diagnostics, longevity medicine, regenerative therapies and personalized nutrition. Traditional medical wisdom is refined through contemporary science. “Many guests realize how strongly digestion, stress levels and nervous system regulation influence their overall well-being,” Dr. Resch says.
Despite their structured foundations, these retreats increasingly emphasize personalization. Core programs are balanced with individual goals, medical histories and areas of concern, ensuring that guests are not simply moving through a fixed template. Oneon-one consultations play a central role, with ongoing adjustments made throughout a stay. Many retreats now offer specialized tracks focused on sleep optimization, stress management, women’s health or longevity, allowing guests to tailor their experience further.
Dr. Resch says at Mayrlife, “Every program is medically structured, yet it is built around the guest’s personal objectives, and though the physician defines the therapeutic priorities, the guest’s lifestyle, stress load, health history and ambitions influence the plan. This partnership ensures precision while maintaining relevance, making the treatment both effective and meaningful.”
Beyond the core protocols, additional treatments may be layered in, depending on the retreat and the individual.
At Buchinger Wilhelmi, this can look like the inclusion of IV drips and NAD therapies, altitude training, art therapy, beauty treatments, talk therapy and hot or cold exposure through saunas and cold plunges. Some wellness centers also integrate modalities such as traditional Chinese medicine and India’s ancient ayurveda alongside Western medical frameworks.
For guests, one of the most compelling aspects of these retreats is the opportunity to engage directly with the science behind the programs. Educational lectures, consultations and data reviews help demystify the rationale for each intervention.
This transparency often leads to what many describe as an “aha” moment, when subjective feelings of clarity or energy align with objective data. At fasting-based programs such as these, this often occurs when the body adapts to fasting and enters a state of ketosis, bringing a noticeable shift in energy and mental clarity.
“When they are on their third day or fourth day, they realize they function as well on this fasting program as they do in their ‘I ate three to five meals a day’ lifestyle, and that is a big revelation for many,” Mr. Wilhelmi says of Buchinger Wilhelmi’s guests. “When they break their fast, we give them an apple. This apple is the most delicious thing that people will experience eating. You have to think about how your taste buds become a little dormant during the fast, and then you get this crisp apple, and you bite into it, and it’s an explosion of taste and sensation. It’s life-changing.”
At Mayrlife, guests also commonly report improvements after a few days. “They notice a higher energy level, improved sleep, reduced bloating or unexpected calm,” Dr. Resch says. “This shift demonstrates how quickly the body responds once burdening factors are removed and targeted therapies take effect.”
The true measure of success for medical wellness retreats, however, lies in what happens after guests leave. Rather than positioning the experience as a one-time intervention, these programs aim to equip individuals with practical skills and habits they can sustain long-term. Guests return home with a clearer understanding of how to eat, move, rest and manage stress in ways that support their health goals. Follow-up protocols, recommended routines and ongoing support help bridge the gap between the retreat environment and everyday life.
WHILE CONVENTIONAL massages, facials and thermal circuits offer short-term relaxation, they rarely address underlying health issues or lifestyle patterns. Medical wellness retreats, by contrast, frame the stay as a reset. As interest in longevity and preventive medicine continues to grow, this fusion of hospitality and healthcare is likely to deepen.
What began as a 21st-century evolution of the spa is becoming something more enduring: a model for how preventive medicine can be delivered in a way that is immersive, aspirational and deeply personal. In this future, wellness is not a temporary escape, but an ongoing practice — one informed by data, guided by expertise and supported by design.
“We are looking to integrate ourselves into our patients’ lives and lifestyles and we feel lucky that, as a family-run business, we can provide this value to our patients,” Mr. Wilhelmi says. “We have the ability to create a place where everyone can feel seen, respected and understood, and that means a lot to us.”

WALK IT OUT
Let go on these historic pilgrimage routes
By LISA KLEIN
There’s nothing quite like a peaceful stroll to forget about the day’s worries. Nothing except a longdistance trek among rolling hills, lush forests and quiet hamlets, that is.
To find the perfect place to put your feet to the path, look no further than the many ancient trails around the world that trace well-traveled pilgrimages — still in use and ready to lift your spirits today. Their length offers an extended break to breathe in fresh air, take in a culture or history lesson, contemplate endless landscapes and clear your mind of the clutter.
The following routes — all UNESCO World Heritage Sites — take anywhere from a few days to five weeks to complete, although you can start your journey anywhere along the road you like.
KUMANO KODŌ
This web of seven paths covers the Kii Peninsula in southern Japan. For 1,000 years, worshippers have followed them to the three grand shrines of the Kumano religion: Hongū Taisha, Nachi Taisha and Hayatama Taisha. A marriage of traditional Japanese Shinto beliefs — in which nature is the main focus and spirits inhabit mountains, trees, rocks and water — and Buddhism, Kumano is closely tied to the Kii Mountains, known as the “Land of the Gods.”
The main route, Nakahechi, was originally the imperial way used by emperors and nobles. Beginning in Kii-Tanabe, it winds through dense, mossy forests of evergreens, cedar and cypress. The 42-mile trail links all three spiritual destinations across the peninsula. Travelers will see the largest torii gate in the world at Hongū, the 436-foot waterfall next to Nachi and the giant boulder of Hayatama. Rest is found along the way at traditional ryokan and onsen hot springs.
CAMINO DE SANTIAGO
A network of trails spreads across Spain, Portugal and France, all leading to one place: Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, in the northwestern corner of Spain. Pilgrims on these paths are heading toward the town’s cathedral, where the remains of St. James — an important figure in Christian tradition as one of the 12 Apostles and the patron saint of Spain — are thought to rest.
The oldest of the bunch, Camino Primitivo, has guided the 193 miles to the site from Oviedo, Spain, since the ninth century. In use since the Middle Ages and the longest at a whopping 497 miles, Camino Frances begins in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France. The latter is the most popular, although many begin farther along the trail. Both wind through misty mountain ranges, verdant valleys, rural pastures, vineyards, olive groves and quaint villages brimming with history. Most choose to bunk each night with fellow travelers in albergues — dormitory-style hostels just for pilgrims.
INCA TRAIL
One of the many trails that made up the Qhapaq Ñan — the system connecting the former Incan empire — runs from Cusco, Peru, to the famed ruins of Machu Picchu. The Inca were the largest pre-Columbian civilization in the Americas, building the “lost city” around 1450, likely for Emperor Pachacuti. This former ceremonial route brought religious priests and other nobles the 28 miles to visit his home, surrounded by temples and looking out over the sacred valley below.
A difficult journey due to high elevations and weather, the trail takes modern-day pilgrims through tropical rainforest and cloud forest, past ancient archeological sites and up the notorious Dead Woman’s Pass, a section that makes a steep ascent to almost 14,000 feet above sea level. Those who meet the challenge are rewarded with a first look of Machu Picchu through Inti Punku, the sun gate. Porters help lighten the load by carrying bags ahead and setting up tents for each night.

ENCHANTED KINGDOM
A grand estate in New York’s Hudson Valley promises sublime surroundings and unequivocal calm
By KIRAN GILL
As the sun rises over the commanding Stonecrest manor in the Catskills, birds trill and the blue-grey waters of the Hudson River sparkle in the morning glow. In these tranquil hours, the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom property is akin to a fairytale castle, where anything is possible and the day promises to delight. One could explore the verdant greenery, have a picnic next to the Koi-stocked pond with falling water, go for a swim or enjoy the solitude of the inviting home.
“Stonecrest reveals itself as a deeply immersive, private landscape: 16 acres composed as a sequence of moments rather than a single, fixed view,” says Jill Rose, the home’s listing agent at Houlihan Lawrence. “Sweeping vistas of the Hudson River and the Catskills unfold alongside intimate garden rooms, sculptural stonework and quiet pathways designed for pause and reflection.”
The 8,280-square-foot abode, built more than two decades ago and before contemporary zoning laws, features a resort-style, saltwater pool directly above the roaring river. A stone pool house with a full kitchen and entertaining space further enhances the outdoor swimming hole.
“Stonecrest is extraordinary not only for what it is, but for what can no longer be replicated,” Ms. Rose says. “Its location, scale, architectural vision and riverfront
amenities converge in a way that today’s regulations simply no longer allow.”
Beyond the one-of-a-kind pool, the property, which is a short distance from Rhinebeck, is deeply secluded and includes additions that evoke an otherworldly atmosphere, such as a reflecting pool with firepit, amphitheater that looks out onto the Hudson and a labyrinth demarcated by stone and thyme.
Stepping outside of the property’s sprawling acreage, the nearby artist community, a core fixture of the Hudson River Valley, guarantees stimulating conversation and creative breakthroughs courtesy of a bustling, year-round calendar of cultural events, inclusive of gallery openings, shows and fine dining.
Returning from an evening out or a day trip to the neighboring enclaves, the winding roads enclosed by open farmland prepare the traveler for the house’s beauty. Stonecrest immediately captures one’s attention with its blend of glass, stone and metal, the materials working together to create an exterior that is both palatial and symmetrical.
Stepping inside, one is transported by the majestic grand room, which has a ceiling height of 40 feet and a stone fireplace that spans floor to ceiling. Panes of glass invite light into the space, making the room feel one with the surrounding landscape of trees and rushing water.
The ground floor includes the north wing of the house, which features private nooks that delight homeowners and guests alike, from an out-of-view deck to a cozy library with a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows — all of which is hidden behind a secret door. These intimate spaces are buttressed by an en-suite bathroom, bluestone patio and a spacious hallway perfect for art installations à la palaces of yore.
Meanwhile, the south wing of the house includes a formal dining space that can accommodate up to 30 guests and a terrace ideal for late-night dinner parties. The nearby chef’s kitchen with top-of-theline appliances and butler’s pantry — with a second Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine cooler and sink — aid in the hosting process.
This wing also includes a multi-purpose sitting room, mud room with a covered portico and easy access to the garage, which can hold up to three vehicles.
Two gracious staircases in the grand room invite one to explore the second floor, where the primary suite includes a bedroom with awe-inspiring views of the river and surrounding lands. A private deck, expansive closet with rooms for separate dressing areas and a vast bathroom with a jacuzzi and glass-bricked shower complete the space. A nearby bonus room could be transformed into a guest room, den, sitting room or private study.
The stately home’s stunning location is just steps from the Hudson River 2
3
Serene outdoor spaces, such as a saltwater pool, abound on the property
4
Indoors, the home is filled with quiet spaces to spend quality time
5
There is also plenty of room for entertaining a crowd with open spaces and unobstructed views
THE SECOND FLOOR of the south wing includes two more en-suite bedrooms, a media room, theater, utility room and an apartment annex. The latter, ideal for employees or long-term stays from friends or family members, includes an open-plan kitchen, living space, bedroom, full bathroom and private entryway. The light-filled space, with its state-of-the-art sound system and ample storage opportunities, provides versatility. A walk-out basement offers further flexible solutions.
“Beyond Stonecrest’s inherent rarity lies something more intangible: an atmosphere of serenity, privacy and quiet permanence,” Ms. Rose says. “Designed to encourage reflection, creativity and a deep connection to the natural world, the home offers its owners a retreat that feels at once deeply personal and enduringly monumental.”
The house, which marries earthen materials and modern amenities with its surroundings, certainly inspires reverence. Its many windows illuminate the space and allow one to track the subtle variations in light as the sun moves across the sky before bathing the space in an enchanting evening glow that brings each fairytale day to a comforting close.
CLARITY THROUGH C O L O R
Color therapy expert
Constance Hart taps the spectrum of shades to enhance well-being
By ZACH JAMES
Color has long been connected to mood. Philosophers and authors from ancient Greece, China, India, Egypt and beyond pondered the idea of its potential effects well before today’s society questioned various shades’ psychological impact. The premise began to gain widespread popularity centuries later, spearheaded by retired American Civil War general Augustus Pleasonton. He experimented with the health effects of light passed through blue glass, publishing The Influence of the Blue Ray of the Sunlight and of the Blue Color of the Sky in 1876. A global collective of scientists soon rallied behind the belief, including American physician Edwin D. Babbitt, who made therapeutic connections with a variety of hues in his widely influential 1878 book, The Principles of Light and Color.
In the modern day, different hues are still believed to impact people on both a psychological and physical level. For example, red is thought to increase energy, while blue is said to imbue a sense of calm. Some recent studies support the latter notion, including a 2016 publication in the Journal of Sleep and Sleep Disorders Research finding that concentrated exposure to blue light for a prolonged period of time positively and temporarily affected participants’ memory performance and overall brain function.
Through chromotherapy, or color therapy, some are taking the influence of the visible spectrum further. Practitioners believe that through the wavelengths and frequencies emitted by colors, clients can improve their mental and physical health, as well as deepen their spiritual connections. Different hues are thought to promote relaxation, reduce stress and inflammation, and regulate energy and mood. Treatments are varied: Some are administered through colored light therapies, while others include more traditional psychological services, such as one-on-one workshops, guided meditation and breathing exercises.
Though few studies have been conducted on chromotherapy itself, color therapists find that it helps to improve their clients’ overall well-being. Color therapy expert Constance Hart founded the company Conscious Colors® in 1996 with aspirations of expanding public consciousness. In the following Q&A, she shares her thoughts on the impacts of color with Luxury Portfolio.
Constance Hart specializes in using colors to help connect the dots in her clients’ wellness journeys
How would you introduce color therapy to someone who has never tried it before?
Colors influence your moods, emotions and behaviors in daily life, whether you’re aware of it or not. Color therapy is a practice of mindfully and purposely focusing your attention on colors to invite physical, mental and emotional wellness shifts.
Most everyone has a relationship with color due to their preferences, either likes or dislikes, and thus responds to color based on a combination of the color’s inherent influence as well as one’s unique preferences.
In an insightful color therapy session, personal preferences are considered and merged with colors needed for therapeutic reasons — to balance anxiety, to uplift, to calm, to provide focus — based on the client’s needs and wants. In addition, applying color to the body with light therapy and/or Color Aroma® Therapy can help to modulate the nervous system, regulate blood pressure and improve circulation.*
Why do you believe the practice has gained in popularity over the past 150 years or so?
Since the invention of the light bulb, we, as humans, have swayed further and further from our natural state of wellness. People have grown increasingly overworked, overtired and overstimulated. As a result, we have naturally gravitated back to our original “medicines.”
Before the creation of synthetic pharmaceuticals, we relied on plants as our medicines. We lived in relationship with the sun and the plants fed by it. Chromotherapy, and certainly Color Aroma® Therapy, is connecting people back to more natural healing sources for an overall balance to our overstimulated nervous systems and world.
When and how did you get involved with chromotherapy?
I first got involved with chromotherapy in the late 1980s on a personal healing level. I was living in Chicago and was suffering with depression known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD) due to a lack of sunlight. As “woo woo” as this may sound, I was led to a large, clear-quartz crystal and started meditating with it by holding it under bright light and moving it around to enjoy seeing various colors appear. I had a total transformation of my mood and outlook on life. stock.adobe.com
Why does color therapy appeal to you?
I love that color is a universal language and is everywhere! Color therapy also helps to connect people to the natural world around them. Plus, the most basic form of color therapy can be utilized by anyone quite easily: Just sit comfortably and gaze at a color.
What are color frequencies? How are people exposed to color frequencies impacted by them?
Simply explained, color frequencies are the vibrations inherent in the visible light spectrum. We perceive the different wavelengths of light as unique colors. Typically, the warm colors of the spectrum — red, orange, gold, yellow — have a more stimulating effect, and the cool colors — green, blue, violet — have a more calming effect. These effects can be physical, like raising or lowering blood pressure, as well as mental and emotional, like increasing a feeling of joy or soothing anxiety. Each color has a variety of benefits.*
How does one ascertain which color they need greater exposure to?
I teach that there are a few parameters worth exploring. The simplest is to start to become aware of what colors are attracting you out of the blue. Have you suddenly been noticing a particular color often? Or does it seem like recently you can’t get enough of a color? Usually, when a different color, rather than your typical favorites, starts to grab your attention, this is proving to you that you need its frequency for a balancing of some sort.
The Conscious Colors® method uses a more sophisticated approach: A certified color therapist will show the client a variety of colors in a particular order to help determine which colors are standing out.
Why did you expand color therapy into the realm of aromatherapy with Color Aroma®?
Our sense of sight is our most superficial sense, whereas the olfactory system, our sense of smell, helps create and retain memories. Once I learned this, I knew I could create a more meaningful color therapy modality through Color Aroma® Therapy. When you experience color with a positive emotion via your sense of smell, your brain can help evoke that feeling when the color is viewed in the future. This is a powerful means to creating long-lasting well-being.
How has the field changed since you founded Conscious Colors® in the 1990s?
When I first founded Conscious Colors,® people really gravitated toward receiving physical health support. Color therapy was popular to help reduce insomnia or lower high blood pressure caused by stress, but over the last 15 years I, and the professionals I certify, have noticed that more people are ready to focus on their emotional well-being and look into the deeper causes of their stress.
I also see that color psychology principles have made their way into the mainstream more, now that digital and social media marketing has expanded so greatly. Marketers are increasingly becoming more curious about how to influence customers through color. People are being influenced visually and, of course, color is a huge component of this.
In what ways have you seen color therapy help your clients over the years?
It has been gratifying to see my many color therapy clients and students, plus the professionals I’ve trained, transform both their physical health and emotional well-being to thrive personally and professionally.
Physically, color therapy has effectively helped some clients lower high blood pressure, support healthy thyroid function, improve digestion, heal from liver disease, reduce insomnia, promote restful sleep, increase circulation and other benefits.
Emotionally, I’ve seen color therapy help clients eliminate panic attacks, dramatically reduce stress, develop self-confidence, have better communication in relationships and more. Color therapy has also helped clients deepen spiritually by developing more trust and optimism, despite change and challenges, while also becoming more intuitive.
I encourage everyone to explore the many positive shifts that color therapy can support.*

uxury Portfolio International® (LPI), the world’s premier network of independent luxury real estate brokerages, is proud to share highlights from its newest research report, Luxury Housing Market: Trends and Truths, produced in partnership with The Center for Generational Kinetics, the global authority in behavioral research.

The study also shows why the next five years represent one of the most active and transformational periods for high-net-worth homebuyers and sellers.
The powerful findings include generational culture shifts, the rising appeal of modern design, coastal living, secondary markets and significant near-term buying intent among affluent households.
MARKET MOVES
Affluent Americans are preparing for one of the most active periods in luxury real estate in more than a decade, with strong near-term demand expected. New construction is becoming the gold standard; buyer mindset has shifted to turnkey, modern homes.

prefer new construction over historic or character homes — rising to 78% among households earning $1M+ 59% prefer modern exteriors 52% prefer modern interiors
Long-term property value and wealthy buyer demand are viewed as the greatest strengths of the current market. 45% would choose a beachfront or coastal location for a second home 59% would consider a secondary/less traditional market if it offered strong design and value 31% of those considering an international purchase overwhelmingly prefer their additional home to be outside the U.S.
IN THE DETAILS
Luxury buyers desire homes that function as wellness retreats, lifestyle hubs and tech-forward sanctuaries. Some priorities, however, show clear generational divides.

64% want a jetted jacuzzi/swim-inplace spa
51% want circadian/ natural light therapy
