    Tri Pointe Homes unveils LivingWell in Utah

    Tri Pointe Homes announced the completion of its LivingWell concept home and the start of sales at Pavilions at Holladay Hills, an exclusive collection of six one-of-a-kind luxury estate residences in Holladay, Utah. The completed concept home gives prospective buyers their first opportunity to experience LivingWell, Tri Pointe’s next-generation approach to whole-home wellness.

    “LivingWell represents an important evolution in how we think about designing homes,” said Tom Mitchell, President and Chief Operating Officer of Tri Pointe Homes. “Buyers increasingly want homes that contribute meaningfully to the lives they hope to lead. Luxury is no longer measured by scale or finishes alone, but by whether a home can adapt, restore and support the people living there. Pavilions at Holladay Hills is Tri Pointe’s response, offering residences that are highly personalized, flexible over time and holistically focused on human wellbeing.”

    The LivingWell concept home integrates wellness throughout the entire home, rather than confining it to individual rooms or amenities. Organized around a private interior courtyard, the three-story, 7,774-square-foot contemporary English manor includes six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a four-bay garage and a separate carriage home for guests or multigenerational living. Its orientation, enhanced glazing and circulation draw natural light into the interior while strengthening indoor-outdoor living.

    “Good design should support our routines while making space for the ways we evolve,” said Bobby Berk, LivingWell’s designer, Emmy-winning TV host and author. “LivingWell brings that balance of comfort and freedom into wellness-oriented spaces that are deeply connected to the people who live there. This project is exciting because it doesn’t view wellness as just another trend. LivingWell is a platform for imagining where residential design can go next.”

    The project builds upon Tri Pointe Homes’ LivingSmart program, the company’s longterm commitment to sustainability, energy efficiency and responsible building practices. LivingWell extends to how a home feels by incorporating light, flow, comfort, connection and adaptability into the routines of daily life. The approach is anticipated to be expressed across all six residences at Pavilions at Holladay Hills.

  • Interior design trends to look out for in 2027

    Interior design trends to look out for in 2027

    Looking towards 2027, interior design trends are evolving from cool-toned, overly staged interiors. Instead, buyers will be looking for warmth and designs that feel grounded. While the cooler color palette of grey and white hues has been popular in the last decade, warm neutrals, earth tones and natural wood cabinetry will take center stage next year in new home construction.

    While open floor layouts will carry into 2027, buyers have been prioritizing more privacy, defined zones and flexible rooms for work and quiet. This is also likely to continue in next year’s interior design trends.

    Throughout 2026, we have seen buyers’ desire for wellness-focused features such as natural light, quieter spaces and spa-style baths. This drive for wellness-inspired design will continue, as buyers seek interiors that reflect and improve their daily routines.
