Eudiamonia Health and Wellness Apartments

Fall 2018 | Studio Critic: Sebastian Guivernau | Studio Partner: Aubrey Timmons

Subscription Architecture is exploring multi-use building typologies in a flexible sense, by using the building as an ecosystem of diverse uses available only to its “subscribers”. Unlike ordinary mixed use buildings, our concept focuses on the aspect of membership. If you “subscribe” to an apartment unit, you will become part of a community that involves like minded individuals who want to better themselves physically, mentally and have access to the health and wellness facilities that are on the property. The program is aligned with WELL Certification values to encourage and emphasize physical and mental health.

Program: Inspired by the local community and its interest in health and wellness programs and lifestyle, this eight story residential building provides tenants with access to a gym, with workout classes, a restaurant and café with healthy food options included with their “subscription fee” of rent. We used the WELL Certification as a guideline on what to include in a health and wellness building.

Crystal Concept

Crystals represent the idea of whole body wellness, not just physical wellness that people first think of with the words health and wellness

We incorporated the central core of the building to symbolize the restorative nature and overall wellness the residents and users of the building. It symbolizes the idea that the central “core” idea of the building is to promote health seen and unseen.
