Building on its LivingSmart program, Tri Pointe Homes has launched LivingWell. The whole-home wellness approach combines architecture, design, and systems under one roof.
“LivingWell reflects Tri Pointe’s deliberate effort to explore how wellness can shape the way homes are designed and experienced. As the demands of modern life evolve, home buyers are seeking spaces that actively contribute to how they feel, and the home should serve as an anchor where wellness is found. We see an opportunity to strategically evolve the strong foundation of LivingSmart and show how homes can better support the rhythms of daily life,” says Tom Mitchell, Tri Pointe Homes president and chief operating officer.
Where LivingSmart focuses on how a home performs, LivingWell expands the conversation to how a home feels, integrating elements like light, flow, comfort, connection, and adaptability into the architecture, interiors, landscape, and products to support everyday life.
Located within The Pavilions at Holladay Hills in Utah, LivingWell will become an exclusive collection of six estate homes by Tri Pointe Homes, featuring a fully merchandised model, now under construction, designed to demonstrate how whole-home wellness can support meaningful emotional, physical, and social experiences.
Engineering Wellness from the Inside Out
LivingWell distinguishes itself by viewing wellness through a whole-home design lens rather than limiting it to a single room, amenity, or aesthetic layer. The home extends wellness into the materials, mechanics, and behind-the-wall construction decisions that influence how the home operates day to day, Tri Pointe says.
Beyond design, integrated smart home technology is intended to support comfort, convenience, privacy, and efficiency. These systems include home control automation, as well as automated lighting and roller shades to encourage circadian-friendly daily rhythms, Wi-Fi thermostat integration, and remote monitoring capabilities that allow homeowners to manage key functions from virtually anywhere. LivingWell is also prepared for long-term resilience with prewiring for a generator, a conduit for future solar installation, and structured wiring that supports whole-home connectivity and systems integration.

The LivingWell model home features contemporary English manor architecture designed by Bassenian Lagoni Architects, blending traditional estate style elegance with modern innovation.
Performance-focused building features include tankless water heaters for on-demand hot water, engineered ducting and duct sealing, blown-in insulation, as well as insulation between floors and walls for thermal performance and sound control, advanced framing techniques that support a stronger thermal envelope, and high-efficiency air conditioning.
Indoor comfort and air quality are also supported by a whole-home humidifier, a heat recovery ventilator system that exchanges stale indoor air with fresh, filtered outdoor air while recycling up to 90% of heating and cooling energy, and a MERV 13 filtration system designed to capture fine particles, allergens, and pollutants. Low-VOC finishes, including paint and flooring selections, contribute to a healthier interior. Structural systems behind the walls also add to the experience by enabling open, connected spaces and quieter, more stable floors.
What’s Under Construction
Just 20 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, the LivingWell model home will span approximately 7,772 square feet across three stories, with six bedrooms, nine bathrooms (two full, five three-quarter, and two half), and a four-bay garage, including a carriage home above the garage for guests or multigenerational living. Designed as a contemporary English manor with year-round outdoor comfort features in mind, the home combines traditional estate-style elegance with modern innovation, highlighted by timeless transitional architecture and “Cotswolds Rustic” interior styling.
“The LivingWell model home brings Tri Pointe’s vision for whole-home wellness to life in one of Utah’s most desirable locations,” says Ken Krivanec, division president of Tri Pointe Homes Utah and Washington. “We’re remaining true to Tri Pointe’s long-standing reputation for delivering premium homes rooted in thoughtful design and connection to place, but LivingWell takes it another step further. As we continue expanding in Utah, LivingWell will demonstrate how light, landscape, and wellness-driven spaces can create restorative environments that represent the future of living here.”
Centered around a private interior courtyard, the home is designed to draw natural light deeper into the home, create stronger sightlines to outdoor spaces, guide intuitive circulation between spaces, and shape a calmer interior experience through privacy, openness, and connection to the landscape. Planned outdoor amenities include a pool, spa, firepit, orchard, raised gardening beds, and a cabana with a cooktop, refrigerator, and sink.

The orchard and raised garden beds at the LivingWell model home create an outdoor gathering space that supports Tri Pointe Homes' wellness-focused design philosophy.
LivingWell’s wellness integration is expressed throughout the home in tangible ways through intentional design considerations including:
- Nutrition and gathering through chef-inspired kitchens and prep spaces that support cooking, hosting, and daily connection.
- Social interaction and movement through open, connected living areas and the indoor-outdoor flow that encourage social engagement and ease of movement throughout the home.
- Mindfulness and renewal with quiet zones and restorative bathrooms that create opportunities for reflection, relaxation, and restoration.
- Balance and adaptability using flexible rooms to shift between work, rest, leisure, and personal growth over time.
- Light and spatial experience through natural light, material selections, and spatial flow reinforce a sense of balance and calm throughout the residence.
The home’s finished basement is planned to feature a recreation room, wellness room/gym, kitchen area, flexible bedroom space, abundant storage, and dedicated cold storage, while light wells bring in added natural light and create visual connections to planted exterior spaces that feel more open and aesthetically pleasing below grade.
A dedicated pet wellness station with an integrated pot filler also reflects the home’s attention to everyday routines, offering freshwater access while keeping the feeding area clean and organized. At the community level, the home is also designed to connect with the larger Holladay Hills lifestyle ecosystem, including walkable access to trails, plazas, dining, retail, and entertainment.
Tri Pointe Homes teamed up with industry leaders that helped express the home’s wellness-driven design through their respective expertise. Partners include design expert Bobby Berk, Bassenian Lagoni Architects, PKJ Design Group, Brizo, James Hardie, among others.
