With health and well-being as a priority, a real estate trend has been strengthened that responds to these needs, it is wellness: a type of housing with architectural designs that seek to be healthy, with large entrances of natural light, systems of water filtration, that the materials used in the implementation are not toxic, that they have spaces for gyms and that they can be in contact with nature.

According to a study by the Global Wellness Institute (GWI) before the pandemic, the construction of this model raised about US $ 119 billion worldwide, now with the effect that the health emergency has had on the ideals of the people, wellness homes may become more relevant.

In Colombia it is already possible to live in one of these wellness houses, there are the Kuna and Nuvica projects of the connected companies Real Estate and Real Estate; these will be developed in Rionegro, Antioquia. in a space of 60,000 m2, where they will build what aims to be a “self-sustaining micro-city” in which there will be houses, apartments, a shopping square and 34,000 m2 of green areas such as parks, trails, a gorge and native forests, considering that a premise of wellness is sustainability.

For the founder and manager of Conn Immobiliari, Andrés Arias, in this architectural model “five variables must be incorporated, which must start from the spaces that are designed from physical well-being, after following the emotional, spiritual, environmental and even social. They should not be thought of as simple places to live, but should be projected from the idea that people spend more time in our homes. ”
