Let us look at some examples of wellness in Intracorp’s communities where proactive design supports the holistic health of those who live, work, play and learn there.
Docente at Old School House (Now Selling)
Claremont, CA
Docente demonstrates a commitment to wellness in its built environment through various thoughtful design elements. For instance, the site plan promotes social interaction and a physical connection to the outdoor environment where homes with private courtyards front onto lushly landscaped paseos and connect residents and neighbors to the adjacent Old School House Shopping Center. A neighborhood park with outdoor dining, barbeques and open turf area encourages neighborly gatherings and pet play, examples of both social, physical, and mental wellness. Strategically placed windows and French doors allow light in, and porticos and loggias provide much needed shade during the sizzling summer months. Additional environmental wellness examples include Docente’s use of native, drought tolerant landscaping, and mixed-metal sculpture of a Yerba Santa, a plant with a history of healing powers, at the community’s entrance.

Start your day with a smart mirror workout workout in the fitness centre, invigorate yourself with a sauna and cold plunge in the spa, and get a massage in the private treatment room.
One of the amenity highlights at Gardena, The Secret Garden, promotes the idea of Sanlimyok – the practice of being in nature, especially an area with trees and foliage, as an act of sensory immersion undertaken by physiological and psychological health benefits. To complement these wellness focused amenities, Gardena is located next to transit and modern city conveniences, meaning residents need not sacrifice one aspect of wellness for another – they are connected to their local community and beyond.
