Performance for All

摘要

To describe performance in a sustainable and modern way, it needs to embrace wellness alongside aesthetics, products, and codes. The Oxford Dictionary defines wellness as "the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal." Making wellness a goal for residential design and construction means considering how to best enhance the health, comfort, productivity, and efficiency of occupants. Especially for high-use areas like the kitchen, setting wellness as a standard means rethinking materials, features, and layouts.Today's kitchens face multiple demands from diverse user groups. The kitchen may be placed in a universal design, requiring open accommodation of users aged infant through elderly; it may be serving multiple duties in a tiny home; or it may simply be trying to keep up with a young and growing family.
