Architecture and hospitality designed around the human nervous system.

Our approach

Buildings as practice. Hospitality as restoration.

ROOTS Development & Design partners with luxury wellness hotels, boutique hotels, hospitality groups, and luxury brands who understand that the next era of luxury is measured in how a guest feels three days, three weeks, and three years after they leave.

We consult on, co-develop, and design boutique and wellness-focused hotels, retreats, and experiential spaces — integrating functional wellness, nature-based design, and human optimization into the architecture itself. We extend the practice into the environments that shape daily life through holistic, building-biology-informed assessments for hospitality teams, corporate environments, and brand spaces: air, water, light, materials, and EMF assessment and mitigation.

We partner only with elite functional, holistic, and non-toxic brands — curating every layer a guest touches, from in-room and welcome amenities to cookware, glassware, linens, and naturally finished furniture. The standard is invisible by design: nothing in the room working against the body.

A reflection

“We brought her in to consult on a single suite and ended up rethinking the entire property. She understands that a room is a nervous system. Our guests stay longer, sleep better, and write us letters afterward.”

How we work together

A considered arc, from first walk-through to opening day.

Phase I

Consult & Discovery

We listen, walk the property or plans, and assess where wellness can be woven into the architecture, operations, and guest experience.

Phase II

Design & Integration

Building-biology-informed specification — air, water, light, materials, EMF — alongside wellness programming, brand curation, and team training.

Phase III

Living Practice

Continued partnership after opening: refinement, measurement, and a relationship built for the long arc of a property's life.

Materials & values

The standard inside every wall.

We specify only organic, non-toxic materials and naturally finished surfaces — nothing that off-gasses, degrades indoor air quality, or adds load to the nervous system. What goes inside the walls should support the body, not burden it.
