METHODOLOGY
The WLLW Residential Framework is a structured methodology designed to integrate health, wellbeing and sustainability into the fabric of residential spaces. It serves as a guiding philosophy, offering homeowners and designers a clear, research-backed approach to creating living environments that enhance quality of life.
Rooted in evidence-based principles from the International Well Building Institute and the Harvard School of Public Health, the framework defines key elements that shape a healthier home. By considering factors such as air and water quality, spatial design, natural light, materials and community, it provides a practical and measurable way to design for both human and environmental wellbeing.
This methodology empowers homeowners to make informed decisions, ensuring their spaces support physical and mental health while aligning with sustainable living practices.
