Why have one when you can have two? That’s the mentality of some wealthy home owners when it comes to the latest luxury or high-tech home amenities.

His and hers studies for the retired, outdoor kitchens, double dishwashers and laundry chutes in walk-in wardrobes are now the norm. Home owners are also adding secondary saunas and cold plunge pools in the master en suite, in addition to the same features in the family wellness zone.

Nina Maya of Nina Maya Interiors said not only do chief executives and entrepreneurs want a wellness space in the garden, gym or basement to enjoy as a family, it’s now common to request an extra sauna, steam room or cold plunge pool in the master en suite too.

“It’s that immediate access. Sometimes if it’s in the garden it takes a bit of effort to walk down to that area of the house,” Maya said.

“It’s those very high-end executives, founders and entrepreneurs that want to wake up, jump in the sauna, have a cold plunge dip, all within the master retreat. But they also want either a freestanding area in the garden or under the house that they can enjoy as a family.”

Maya has had requests for pulsed electromagnetic field therapy mats in the gym.

When charged, the mats deliver pulsed electromagnetic fields purported to aid in the body’s natural recovery processes. Devotees believe benefits include strengthened immunity, improved sleep, detoxification, pain management and mental clarity.
