The Wellbeing House – a new system for how we live
At THIS Architecture™, we are setting a new paradigm in residential design to create a prototype house specifically designed to enhance human well-being. This project is a harmonious blend of ancient wisdom and modern innovation, drawing upon the principles of Feng Shui, Vastu Shastra, and the burgeoning concept of biophilic living as well as pioneering sustainable architecture.
Our ambition is to create spaces that are not only aesthetically stunning and unique but are also profoundly impactful in optimising the well-being of their occupants. We seek to explore and answer pivotal questions like ‘Can the design of your house prolong your life?’ and ‘Can your environment significantly enhance your well-being?’ We believe in the transformative power of architecture, inspired by the ancient wisdom and holistic practices.
The Wellbeing House – a new system for how we live
As we embark on the journey to develop our Well-being House prototype, our focus is unwavering: to place well-being at the forefront of our design process. To achieve this, we are assembling a diverse team of forward-thinking professionals - from architects to yoga teachers, sustainability experts to spiritual healers, and Feng Shui experts to structural engineers. This eclectic mix of expertise, spanning the architectural, construction, sustainability and healing realms, underlines our commitment to creating a living space where the external environment enriches the internal psyche of its residents.
Key considerations in our design include sustainable and eco-friendly practices, practical and logical design, with aspirations for passive house standards, net-zero carbon footprint, and off-grid capabilities. Our architectural approach will meticulously consider every element - from spatial utilisation, lighting, and airflow to water quality, natural illumination, orientation, and layout. The core objective is to forge a series of living spaces where energy flow, open fires, and a seamless connection with nature are not just features but essential components of a holistic living experience to create the most inspiring homes for living.
Our ultimate goal is to create the perfect house - a sanctuary that embodies the best of both ancient and modern systems. This prototype will serve as a scalable model, adaptable to various sites and applications across the UK and beyond, setting a new benchmark in residential architecture that prioritises human well-being above all else.

Our approach to all projects
Our pioneering Well-being House prototype, while still under development, has already significantly influenced THIS Architecture™ approach to all architectural projects. The insights gained from integrating ancient holistic practices with modern sustainable architecture have transformed our design philosophy. We now apply these principles universally, enhancing the well-being potential of built environments across all scales and types of projects.
This strategic shift has established THIS Architecture™ as a leader in well-being-focused architecture. We are rapidly becoming recognised for this unique approach, which has become a central objective in our operations. This distinction has not only enriched our architectural offerings but has also proven to be a powerful differentiator in the market.
Consequently, this focus on well-being and sustainable design has helped us secure new projects and partnerships, appealing to clients who prioritise health and environmental consciousness in their spaces. It has equipped us with a strong USP that sets us apart from competitors, positioning us as innovators in the field. This redefined identity and expertise in well-being-oriented architecture is enhancing our reputation and business opportunities, aligning our brand with the growing global emphasis on health and sustainability in the built environment..
Future potential
The potential future impact of THIS Architecture™ Well-being House prototype is vast, tapping into the burgeoning market of well-being in architecture—a sector poised for significant growth. As societal awareness increases about the profound effects of living environments on health and well-being, demand for spaces designed with these principles is set to escalate. Our approach not only meets this demand but sets a new standard for what is possible in residential architecture – we plan to be the pioneers in this field.
Our development in this field and emerging prototype represents more than an innovative design; it is a scalable model that can be adapted across various sites and contexts throughout the UK and internationally. With the capacity to influence a wide range of residential projects, from individual homes to large-scale developments, the potential for scalability is substantial.
Furthermore, as regulatory frameworks evolve towards prioritising sustainability and well-being, our pioneering work positions THIS Architecture at the forefront of the industry, ready to lead and define the future standards. This shift presents a significant commercial opportunity, as clients and regulators increasingly favour designs that support environmental sustainability and occupant health.
In summary, the future impact of our Well-being House prototype is not just transformative for THIS Architecture™ but potentially revolutionary for the entire architecture industry, as we lead the way in making well-being a fundamental aspect of residential design. This positions us to capture a significant share of a market at the cusp of exponential growth.

‘Wellbeing’ & Architecture
In the context of architecture, well-being refers to the intentional design of buildings and spaces that enhance the physical, mental, and emotional health of their occupants. This involves creating environments that are not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also supportive of the overall quality of life. Architectural well-being encompasses various elements such as natural lighting, air quality, noise reduction, use of non-toxic materials, and connections to nature, which collectively contribute to a harmonious and health-promoting living or working environment.
