The Design House Behind ÖND
Health, Wellness & Biohacking — By Design.
Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors is the international design practice, led by Kenneth Bordewick, that engineered ÖND | Life’s Breath™ from a single conviction: a home is not decor. It is a biological field.
The Concept
Design is not decoration. It is environmental governance.
Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors (BHLI) is a luxury interior architecture house that has designed residences, estates, and hospitality projects across four continents. In recent years, its work has expanded into a dedicated discipline: Wellness & Biohacking Design — the engineering of a home's light, air, acoustics, materials, and electromagnetic field as seriously as its aesthetics. BHLI's own language for it is direct: heart rate, sleep cycles, inflammation, mood, and clarity all respond to the environment long before taste does, and luxury was never meant to make you sick.
That philosophy is the origin of ÖND | Life’s Breath™, the wellness design division I partner with directly (you can read more on my ÖND partnership page). This page is about the design house itself — the broader body of physician-engineered principles BHLI applies across every project, and why I trust the thinking behind it enough to recommend it to my own clients.
Wellness Design Principles
A home is a biological field, not a backdrop.
BHLI calls its complete methodology The Nine Pillars of Wellness Design, engineered alongside physicians Dr. Thom E. Lobe, MD and Dr. Fouad I. Ghaly, MD. Five of its foundational principles:
Circadian Alignment
Artificial light follows the rhythm of the sun — morning brightness, evening warmth, true darkness when the body requires it. The light spectrum at any given hour communicates directly with the body's hormonal and neurological systems.
Environmental Purity
Air is treated as infrastructure, not an afterthought — oxygenation, filtration, and humidity control as baseline requirements, continuously renewed through mechanical, natural, and passive systems working together.
Silence as Architecture
Hard surfaces amplify stress; layered absorption restores calm. Background noise elevates baseline cortisol without conscious awareness — removing it is one of the highest-impact interventions in wellness design.
Exposure Awareness
Strategic placement, shielding, and grounding create restorative environments. Bedrooms and recovery spaces are designed as zones of minimal electromagnetic interference — because biology responds to its absence.
Materials & Integrity
Zero-VOC natural finishes, stone, solid hardwood, and natural fiber over synthetics that off-gas and shed microplastics — with copper, silver, and gold grounding grids restoring the body's electrical relationship with the earth.
Why I Recommend BHLI
My work happens in the room. Theirs happens in the walls.
In 20+ years of practice, I've watched clients do real work in session and then go home to a space that quietly undermines it — harsh light at the wrong hours, a bedroom that never feels safe enough to fully rest in, air that never really clears. BHLI's founding belief — that regulation precedes aesthetics, and that biohacking is subtraction rather than addition — mirrors something I tell clients constantly: you can't think, feel, or heal your way past a nervous system that's still in fight-or-flight because of its surroundings.
I don't design homes. But I've come to trust that the environment a client returns to every evening is not neutral — it is either doing quiet work with you, or against you. That's the case for taking a home's biology as seriously as its beauty.
Clinical Collaborators
Backed by physicians, not just aesthetics.
BHLI's wellness and biohacking protocols are engineered alongside physicians specializing in regenerative and longevity medicine, including Dr. Thom E. Lobe (MD, FACS, FAARFM, ABAARM — Regenevéda) and Dr. Fouad I. Ghaly (MD — The Ghaly Center, hyperbaricologist). Their clinical rigor, paired with founder Kenneth Bordewick's decades of ultra-luxury design experience, is what separates this approach from decorative "wellness" trends.
