https://wix.to/otQa893 #rewildmystreet #30DaysWild Day 9 #urbannature benefits theme: #healthandwellbeing My recent article for the Wellbeing issue of the Journal of Biophilic Design explains that rewilding principles can be applied to most buildings in cities, including homes, hospitals, schools, offices, and public outdoor spaces to benefit the building users' wellbeing. It advocates adding nature to new and existing buildings to create wholesome homes, healthy hospitals, stimulating schools, wild workplaces and peaceful public places: https://lnkd.in/eGm6nQdt Healthcare buildings are where we need to focus on regaining our wellbeing, so it is good to know that hospitals with views of nature can quicken patients’ recovery times and that nature can contribute to preventative healthcare. Nature is central to the design ethos of Maggie’s Centres, which are intended to support the wellbeing of cancer patients and their families. The building shown here (image: Willie Miller via Flickr), in Glasgow, is by architect Rem Koolhaas and includes an inner courtyard and wooded glades by landscape designer Lily Jencks: https://lnkd.in/eYdkCNgg

Taking Staging to the Next Level in Residential Care Staging isn’t just for real estate—it’s a game-changer in assisted living, too! Instead of setting up a house for potential buyers, we’re creating inviting spaces for future residents.  In today’s video, we dive into Staging+, an elevated approach to designing rooms that attract new residents while making them feel instantly at home.  #ResidentialCare #AssistedLiving #RoomDesign #SeniorCareSolutions #CareFacilityTips #DementiaCare #RoomStaging #CareChampions #ResidentExperience #QualityCare 

Senior Living is at the heart of what we do. Senior Living Design goes hand in hand with Senior Living Care. When you care. It shows. We care, and it shows. #belsodb #belsodesignbuild #designbuild #headachefreerenovations #seniorlivingdesign #healthcaredesign #commercialrenovations #seniorliving

"We Care How You Live is our promise". "At GVG, 'We care how you live' isn't a slogan – it's a commitment and a promise that resonates throughout every aspect of our operations. Whether it's our valued staff, esteemed clients, trusted partners, or supportive shareholders, this promise serves as our guiding principle, shaping our every move and decision. To me, "We care how you live" is more than just words – it's a philosophy that starts from the very beginning. From selecting prime metropolitan locations to allow local buyers to experience an upgrade in lifestyle without departing their home area, to designing buildings with the end user in mind, we prioritise creating spaces that enhance lifestyles without compromise. Our approach is marked by practicality, foregoing unnecessary extravagance in favour of genuine functionality and aesthetic appeal. Throughout the construction process, safety and efficiency are paramount, with meticulous attention to detail and several stop-and-check points along the way ensuring quality at every stage. When it comes to marketing our developments, we prioritise transparency and authenticity. We spend time at events to meet people and showcase what we do. When we sell our properties, we take our buyers on this journey of transparency and support. We help them transition into apartment homes and vibrant communities. But our commitment doesn't end there. Within our business, 'We care how you live' is reflected in the support structures we've put in place for our staff. We ask questions and share knowledge, which fosters a culture of learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement. We value open communication, feedback, and the exchange of ideas, recognising that our success is built on the strength of our relationships – with our team members, partners, and stakeholders alike. A simple yet telling example of 'We care how you live' is the recent addition of adhesive felt pads to our handover packs for new buyers. While our properties exceed acoustic requirements, we addressed the consistent sound of dining room chairs dragging as an extra measure. This attention to detail, though not obligatory, underscores our dedication to 'We care how you live'. At GVG, 'We care how you live' is our way of life. And it's this unwavering commitment that continues to drive our success and growth, ensuring that every decision we make is rooted in the well-being and satisfaction of those we serve." – Samuel Gardner, Director at Gardner Vaughan Group #gvg #gardnervaughangroup #wecarehowyoulive #gvgcommitment #gvgsuccess #gvgdifference #developerbuilder

🌿 Urban Green Spaces and Your Health: A Game-Changer! 🌿 Did you know that the way we design our cities can have a huge impact on our health? 🌎 🌟 Recent research from the University of Adelaide and Flinders University reveals that incorporating more green spaces in urban areas can significantly boost our immune systems! Here's why it matters: 🌱 Diverse Microbes: Exposure to a variety of bacteria from green spaces helps our immune systems stay strong and prevents overreactions that can lead to allergies and asthma. 🌄 Healthier Environments: Well-designed urban landscapes with parks, gardens, and indoor plants can help us reconnect with nature and improve our overall health. ⚙ Design Matters: The World Health Organization recommends having public green spaces close to where people live. This isn't just about aesthetics—it's about creating healthier cities! As more people move to urban areas, let's push for city designs that include these vital green spaces. 🌳 💪 Not only does it enhance our living environment, but it also supports our well-being. Together, we can create healthier, happier cities! ❤️ Read more here: https://bit.ly/3YCxdXc #UrbanHealth #GreenSpaces #CityLiving #PublicHealth #HealthyCities #NatureInTheCity
