Abstract: The wellness industry is worth around $4.5 trillion, with wellness real estate being currently worth around 3% of that sum. This figure is likely to substantially grow, particularly as it is being increasingly recognised that the bio-friendliness of environments can substantially affect wellbeing and more people are recognising the benefits of healthy living. It is proposed that through taking a smarter approach that more holistically embraces wellbeing and lifestyle needs, wellness real estate initiatives can be much improved. It is possible to combine lifetime home, sustainability, bio-friendliness, universal design, and smarter living approaches, all of which are increasingly essential components of occupier wellbeing, to create more financially appealing and more user-desirable wellness real estate. It is also possible to better consider the needs of a diverse range of end-users, including those in the multi-generational home market, to further improve investment attractiveness. This thesis focuses in particular on the needs of multi-generations living in the same home, and design factors that can help improve wellbeing through addressing identifiable risks, success factors, and solutions that can be created/supplied. In order to do this, a critical literature review was undertaken and then refined further after interviews were undertaken with design experts and members of the general public acting as stakeholders. Factors they strongly agreed should be addressed were the benefits of reducing exposures to electromagnetic pollution and providing greater contact with nature. It is proposed that addressing these and other issues they considered important will enable entrepreneurs, and others involved in residential design, to better tap into the wellbeing market and help create wellbeing for all
