From the Architect: “Recently, Jill Neubauer, Partner at Neubauer Ennis Architects, led the design vision for a home built for Rachel Hodgdon, president and CEO of The International WELL Building Institute. Located on Cape Cod, this modern, multigenerational home was built as an ocean-side oasis, allowing Rachel and her wife to escape their busy lifestyle in New York City and gather with family. Wellness was a top priority for Rachel, her wife and her parents alike—the use of light and space, as well as the products and materials chosen all played a pivotal role in developing a home with intention, personalization, and wellness at its core. This net-zero house is anticipated to be one of the first WELL for Residential certified homes. The home was designed to appear as one structure, while the interior was split down the middle, allowing the space to function as two separate homes. The design supports both privacy and collective joy, and will evolve with them as Rachel’s parents age in place for years to come.”

Correction on 3/5/26: A previous version of this article stated that this home is the first officially certified WELL for Residential Home, but it has yet to be certified.
