OM IS WHERE THE HEART IS

DEEPAK CHOPRA LENDS HIS NAME AND A HOLISTIC HAND TO A SKY-RISE IN SUNNY ISLES, MERGING HIGH LIVING AND WELL-BEING.

You’ve likely read at least one of his 80-some books (22 are New York Times best sellers) and put his mindfulnes­s techniques into practice, but come 2018, you’ll be able to eat, breathe, and sleep in Deepak Chopraappr­oved, health-centric condos when Muse Residences comes to rise in Sunny Isles.

“We need to look at the environmen­t as something that is a part of us, not separate from us,” says Chopra. “We should think of it as our extended body; wellness real estate essentiall­y removes the schism between nature and nurture.”

The state-of-the-art residences—a collaborat­ion between PMG (the group behind Echo Brickell and developmen­ts in Chicago and

New York), S2 Developmen­t, wellness real-estate pioneer Delos, and Chopra—muse is the New Age guru’s debut foray into home design and the South Florida luxury condo market. “How do you change someone’s life?” asks Ryan Shear, principal at PMG. “The simple answer: Enhance the quality or extend it. We chose the modern-day health guru, formed a partnershi­p, and incorporat­ed his 40 years of research into the building.”

With just one residence on each floor—featuring expansive outdoor living spaces with summer kitchens overlookin­g the Atlantic and water-resistant entertainm­ent systems—muse is one step ahead of the aboveavera­ge smart home. Every unit incorporat­es four core wellness principles—air, water, light, and sleep—right into its living quarters. Case in point: unparallel­ed air-purificati­on and water-filtration systems for ultra-crisp air and the cleanest possible H2O. And forget mood lighting—circadian lighting aligns with the body’s natural 24-hour rhythm to optimize energy, productivi­ty, and sleep, and improve your mood.

“Biological sustainabi­lity is the next frontier in housing,” says Chopra, who envisions that smart homes of the future will “provide behavioral and personaliz­ed suggestion­s to improve overall wellness.”

With the Deepak Chopra touch, it’s safe to say there will be no place like home—or rather, like Muse Residences. 17100 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-974-0107; musereside­nces.com
