Wellness

COTE SPREADSHEET

WELLNESS

The Civitas project takes pride in the wellness of it’s tenants and neighbors. The name Civitas itself is a Latin and when translated to English means community. This is a key component to the design features the project incorporated. The COTE spreadsheet has a specific tab for community, but I felt that wellness better represents what the project incorporated for both the tenants as well as the surrounding community. The design intent was to improve the indoor air quality, improve interior acoustical, encourage occupants to move, and clean healthy food preparation. To achieve these goals, avoided chemical products, incorporated cross ventilation and ample access to the outdoors, sound absorbing materials. Natural light, lap pool, multiple circulation options, and making sure that 95% of the interior spaces have direct views to the exterior. The occupants have control over the environment has proved to produce happier occupants. They are able to move 22 metal scrims to control sun and privacy. They committed to reaching 100% on the metric scale for being primarily daylight, quality vies, and operable windows. On top of those goals the project also incorporated community. They did this by giving them the pollinator park as discussed before. The occupants also welcome neighbors to come spend time on the porch for casual conversations. The occupants have also supplied info-graphics educating visitors about the project and its sustainability features welcoming more conversation and integration in others lives.
