in homes nationally, and I wanted to be a part of it.”
Scialla goes one step further: “At some point,
I would like to think that this will just be viewed as
the right way to build. I hope that in a decade, it will
be standard practice to prioritize the human condition
in homes and buildings, and that all spaces will be
designed to be conducive to a human being’s health
and well-being.”
The agents representing Summitridge believe
the wellness concept will dramatically increase the re-
sale value of the home. They view Summitridge as on
the cutting edge of a trend that will likely gain traction
in L.A., where so many people already strive to lead
a healthy lifestyle.
“There is built-in value in Summitridge’s status
as the first Delos luxury new construction single-family
detached home,” notes Craig Shapiro. “What’s better
than coming home to your sanctuary, which feeds your
mind, body and soul?”
Lighting
A dynamic lighting system that delivers the
Circadian Day by Delos, powered by over 200 LED
lights, is designed to be conducive to the resident’s
circadian rhythm, nurturing the appropriate production
or suppression of melatonin and serotonin, and
designed to improve energy levels, mood and sleep
quality. A customized home automation system
delivers the wellness scenes and experience.
“Circadian lighting is so powerful,” explains
Finton. “Our bodies are on a 24-hour clock, all based
around sunlight. You can program the lights to turn
on at 6:30 in the morning, which will be a soft glow
intended to mimic the sun at that time. The curtains
will rise. You’ll feel naturally refreshed. You walk into
the dressing area, which has mirrors lit with circadian
lights, to suppress melatonin and energize you for the
day. If you happen to get up in the middle of the night
to go to the bathroom, you have a lighted pathway with
the touch of a button, which is set at the right color
temperature and ambiance so it won’t keep you up.”
Adds Scialla: “Studies have shown that occu-
pants have better energy levels during the day and
better metabolic rates, thanks to circadian lighting.”
Air Filtration
The air purification system specified by Delos
— based on studies that found indoor quality can be
worse than outdoor air quality — utilizes advanced
filtration techniques to remove allergens, toxins and
other pollutants from the air in the house.
“The HVAC system in Summitridge will regulate
air quality to a higher degree via a multi-stage filtering
system,” says Finton. “In addition, the system uses
powerful UV lights to kill mold spores. If there is a
wildfire nearby or even when new furniture off-gases,
the system would detect it, notify you and regulate the
air through circulation.”
Adds Corvino: “The air will be so clean that you
can actually feel and smell it.”
Water Filtration
The smart water filtration system at Summitridge
filters out contaminants, toxins and other pollutants
before they even get to the house. The smart filtration
system continuously monitors membrane integrity
to ensure that optimal performance standards are
maintained.
“Your drinking water at your sinks in bathrooms
and kitchens is going to be filtered at the highest level,”
says Finton.
Monitoring
A state-of-the-art indoor environmental quality
(IEQ) sensor platform has been integrated throughout
the house to continuously monitor the residence, pro-
viding real-time data on air quality, as well as humidity
and acoustics. If air or water quality dips, or even if
thermal or acoustic comfort changes, the owner will
be notified. The owner will also receive a quarterly
data report.
“It’s like a home health alarm system,” explains
Corvino. “The home is constantly working toward your
health, both actively and passively. We believe buyers
are going to appreciate this technology. We think of it
as the body and the home merging into one.”
SANCTUARY AT SUMMITRIDGE

the infinity pool. A lifestyle of ease unfolds in meticulous detail: a custom-made
glass elevator in matted stainless steel; a glass-walled 500-bottle wine cellar;
a 16-seat theater with bar; and a master suite with canyon-to-ocean views and
a shower that allows you to be one with nature as you bathe both inside and
outside the home. Wellness becomes a part of life with a private gym, salon
and spa suite with massage area, beauty station, sauna and steam shower.

pioneering wellness technology systemby Delos, intended to deliver a healthier
living experience.
