At Tri Pointe Homes®, wellness isn’t an afterthought – it’s built into the homes we design. Because where you live impacts how you sleep, breathe, gather and recharge. Through our Wellness by Design philosophy and LivingSmart® program, we create energy-efficient homes that are designed to support healthier living, enhanced indoor air quality and everyday comfort. If you're searching for a new home that does more than look beautiful – this is where it starts.
Why Wellness Matters in New Construction Homes
Older homes weren’t built with today’s health, energy and technology standards in mind. Today’s buyers want:
Enhanced indoor air quality
Lower utility costs
Smart home integration
Flexible floorplans
Natural light and indoor-outdoor living
That’s what our new construction homes are designed to provide to our homebuyers.
Indoor-Outdoor Design That Supports Wellness
Connection to nature is central to wellness. That’s why some homes embrace biophilic design principles – incorporating natural light, indoor-outdoor flow and room for greenery to create spaces that feel vibrant and restorative.
Sunlit kitchens, peaceful backyard retreats and layouts that frame outdoor views help foster calm and clarity. The result is a home environment that feels grounded, refreshing and aligned with the rhythms of the seasons.
LivingSmart®
Wellness isn’t just aesthetic – it’s integrated into our home designs through LivingSmart®, our comprehensive approach to supporting sustainability and healthier living.
LivingSmart® focuses on five key pillars:
HealthSmart® – Enhanced indoor air quality, low-VOC materials and advanced ventilation systems
EnergySmart® – Energy-efficient features that are designed to help promote year-round comfort
WaterSmart® – Water-saving fixtures and irrigation solutions
EarthSmart® – Responsible building practices and sustainable materials
HomeSmart® – Smart home technology for convenience and control
Together, these elements create energy-efficient homes that support a healthier living environment while reducing environmental impact.
