This course presents several projects that have put health and well-being at the top of their priority lists. Each project approached the challenge in their own unique way, some attaining the WELL certification and others focused on the same criteria but with a different end in mind. This webinar will help you to gain valuable insight into the design processes used and to learn about the many and varying ways all firms can move the built environment towards a healthier future.

The presentations will be followed by a moderated discussion focused on how these innovative custom home projects address several key issues.
