Deepak Chopra designs luxury apartments to maximise joy — and they start at US$5 million
Happiness guru and alternative health practitioner Deepak Chopra — who gained mainstream attention after his appearance on Oprah in 1993 — is now venturing into home design
Deepak Chopra helped design the apartments in a new complex, Muse Residences, in Miami, Florida, and tells Business Insider that the units are made to promote residents’ happiness and overall well-being. Each condo will have filtered water, purified air, and lighting that mimics natural sunlight.
“The place that you live in is your extended body,” Chopra says. “The air you’re breathing is your breath, and the water is your circulation ... So you have to take care of it.”
Prices for the units start at US$5 million, though the two penthouses are asking US$18.5 million and nearly US$20 million, according to Forbes. As of late January, 70 per cent have been sold.
Take a look at the renderings of the complex, which will open in early 2018.
On a beach in northeast Miami, the Chopra-designed Muse Residences will include 68 units on 49 floors.
Chopra partnered with real estate wellness consultancy Delos and two development companies — S2 Development and Property Markets Group — to create the residences.
Chopra has a holistic view of health, and believes the mind, body, soul, and universe are all connected. He says he tried to bring that philosophy to the new residences.
