How To Strategically Integrate Wellbeing at Masterplan & Building Design Stages

Episode 13 - "How To Strategically Integrate Wellbeing at Masterplan & Building Design Stages"  with Karen Rogers and Olga Turner from Ekkist.  This is Part I of a 3 Part Mini-series in partnership with Ekkist called "BUILDING IN HEALTH & WELLBEING: A How To".  Karen is the Director of Project Management and Olga is the Managing Director of Ekkist - which is property consultancy specialising in the design, creation and management of buildings and places that support human health and well-being; using the WELL Building Standard and the EKKIST Design for Well-being® Framework to deliver scientific research based advice.  We cover a lot of ground in this first episode, starting with Olga providing an overview of the relationship between the built environment and human health and wellbeing; and how rapidly changing consumer demand is accelerating the adoption of health focused built environments. Karen defines the core health and wellbeing considerations for the masterplan and building design stages which property professionals and clients should consider and we discuss at length how this information can be best used to improve long term social and financial outcomes.  For anyone who is currently in at RIBA Stage 0 - 4, Part I of the Mini-series will be very important for you as the integration of health and wellbeing is a wholistic approach to better development and also forms a key function in future proofing the asset from changing consumer demand to health focused environments.  In summary, the health and wellbeing outcomes of masterplans and building designs should be a core foundational consideration on every project from day one, enabling better social and financial outcomes for both the client and the end user customers who occupy.  With your hosts, Adam Hinds and Jordan Relfe from the Award Winning LifeProven Wellbeing Property Consultancy.
