As humanity increasingly becomes aware of the importance of health, community, and sustainability, Devonbosch is becoming a destination of choice, standing out as a beacon of progressive urban living and the place to be.
Much like the regions around the world renowned for their inhabitants’ longevity and well-being – Devonbosch is carving out its own space as a place where people can thrive in every sense of the word.
Drawing inspiration from the principles that underpin these regions that have been studied over decades, Devonbosch is creating an environment that fosters health, happiness, and community engagement.
Community and Social Engagement
One of the hallmarks of wellbeing is a strong sense of community and social engagement. Devonbosch has embraced this principle wholeheartedly. The development is much more than a collection of buildings – it’s a vibrant community where social interactions are encouraged and facilitated. The Brickfield Spaces, for instance, are designed as co-working spaces that function as community hubs. These spaces foster connection, creativity, and productivity, offering an environment where entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small teams can thrive together.
Integrating public open spaces, such as the large public square in phase 3.1, further cements Devonbosch’s commitment to community. These spaces are intended to be focal points for social activities and events, bringing residents together and fostering a strong community spirit.
The architectural sound and ever-popular inner courtyards and gardens, along with bespoke foyers showcasing local artists and custom furniture to enjoy and even purchase, create a unique environment known as LIFE @ DevonBosch.
Events held throughout the year in these public spaces provide opportunities for social interaction, much like the Moai social networks in Okinawa, Japan, which have been shown to contribute significantly to the longevity and happiness of their members.
Physical Activity
Regular physical activity is another key factor in the longevity. In Devonbosch, physical activity is woven into the fabric of daily life. The development features facilities like the Unlocked Fitness Studio, which prioritises community-based workouts. Unlike commercial gyms where individuals often train in isolation, Unlocked Fitness Studio promotes team training sessions, which are more engaging and motivating. These sessions not only help residents achieve their fitness goals but also foster a sense of camaraderie and community.
Moreover, the inclusion of activities like eFoiling, water sports, and mountain biking on the GOAT mountain bike and trail running trails ensure that residents have plenty of opportunities to stay active. The Extreme Golf experience is another exciting addition that provides a unique way for residents to enjoy physical activity. These activities are ways to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and connect with nature, echoing the lifestyle of Sardinian shepherds who stay active through their daily routines.
Diet and Nutrition
Diet plays a crucial role in the health and longevity. Devonbosch provides residents with access to high-quality, nutritious food options.
From locally sourced produce to the opening of Aslina Wines’ tasting room – Devonbosch is a testament to the development’s focus on quality and heritage.
Offering a selection of premium wines, including a limited edition MCC, the tasting room is designed to create a home-away-from-home experience rooted in African hospitality. This focus on quality, local produce aligns with the dietary principles observed in the world’s most healthy regions, where people consume fresh, locally sourced foods.
The availability of diverse dining options such as Super Sconto Deli, the Food Center, Ischia Restaurant, and the growing popularity of Brickfields Cafe further enhances the culinary landscape. These establishments provide residents with a variety of nutritious and delicious food choices. As Devonbosch continues to develop its retail sector, more dining options will become available, enriching the community’s food culture.
Sense of Purpose
A clear sense of purpose, often referred to as “ikigai” in Okinawa or “plan de vida” in Nicoya, is a common trait among those who seek a healthy life. Devonbosch fosters this sense of purpose by creating an environment where residents can pursue their passions and goals.
The Innovation Hub, for example, attracts companies and entrepreneurs eager to make their mark, providing a platform for innovation and creativity. This environment encourages residents to engage in meaningful work and activities, contributing to their overall sense of purpose and well-being.
Devonbosch’s philosophy of a LIFE UNLIMITED further reinforces the idea that residents can live their lives without constraints, pursuing their dreams and aspirations.
Sustainability and Environmental Design
Sustainability is a core value at Devonbosch. The development emphasises ethical construction practices and sustainable living. The integration of green spaces, eco-friendly buildings, and sustainable infrastructure ensures that Devonbosch provides a high quality of life for its residents as it respects and preserves the natural environment.
Devonbosch’s European-influenced, temperature-controlled offices and residences, featuring a TAB system and Chiller Plant, give luxury at Devonbosch a new meaning. These advanced systems ensure that living and working spaces are comfortable year-round, while also being energy efficient.
Health and Well-Being
Access to healthcare and wellness facilities is another critical aspect of longevity. Devonbosch addresses this need through amenities like the prenatal screening practice, which specialises in maternal and fetal medicine. This facility ensures that expectant mothers receive professional, evidence-based care in a serene environment, highlighting Devonbosch’s commitment to health and well-being.
The Devonbosch Member App also offers a simplified multi-tenant property management solution that enhances the community lifestyle. This state-of-the-art system improves communication between management and residents, ensuring that the community runs smoothly and efficiently, thereby reducing stress and enhancing overall well-being.
The app is integrated into the electricity management system called SMART MATTERS, providing a seamless and efficient living experience.
Adaptability and Continuous Improvement
One of the key messages from the world’s most successful communities is the importance of adaptability and continuous improvement. Devonbosch embodies this principle by being a dynamic environment that evolves with its residents. It is designed to be enriched by those who call it home, ensuring that it remains vibrant and relevant. The phased development approach allows for continuous enhancement of facilities and services, ensuring that the community’s needs are always met.
Devonbosch is more than just a development. It’s a forward-thinking community that embodies the principles of longevity. By prioritising community engagement, physical activity, nutritious food, a sense of purpose, sustainability, and overall well-being, Devonbosch is creating an environment where residents can lead long, healthy, and fulfilling lives. Devonbosch stands as a testament to what can be achieved when a community is built with care, vision, and a commitment to the well-being of its inhabitants.
Investing in Devonbosch is about becoming part of a visionary project that redefines urban living and sets new standards for health and happiness.
