■ Background of "MYRENO WELL" Development
Sleep is an essential restorative activity for promoting and maintaining health at any age. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's "Sleep Guide 2023 for Health Promotion" (Note 1) highlights it as a challenge that the public should address from a health promotion perspective, and as beneficial for extending healthy life expectancy. Good sleep is achieved by balancing sleep quantity (duration) and quality (feeling of restfulness), promoting physical and mental well-being. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare also points out that poor sleep increases the risk of various diseases and can shorten lifespan. Sleep duration varies by age and season, and sleep environment and lifestyle habits are important for improving sleep quality. Furthermore, the guide states that recommended sleep duration and ensuring adequate restfulness change with life stages. As we live, our ideal home environment also evolves over time. Global Base believes that to live healthily for a long time, it is necessary to create a living space that adapts to one's physical and mental condition and life stage. Therefore, in collaboration with Paramount Bed, which possesses extensive expertise in sleep and medical care, Global Base is launching the "MYRENO WELL" service.

＜Key Points of Renovation Plans＞
● Three Points for Creating a High-Quality Sleep Environment
Creating an environment for good sleep involves three key elements: 'light,' 'temperature and humidity,' and 'sound.' MyReno Well integrates these three elements into spatial design to foster a comfortable sleep environment and create a home conducive to well-being.
Point 1 [Light] Lighting plan synchronized with circadian rhythms (body clock)
Adjusting light in accordance with the human circadian rhythm (body clock) leads to better sleep.
Lighting that mimics natural light, distinct from artificial sources, can be expected to promote a pleasant awakening and smooth transition to sleep.
smooth transition to sleep.
MyReno Well automatically adjusts indoor lighting to match circadian rhythms. In the morning, it gradually brightens like the rising sun, and in the evening, it provides a calming, candle-like glow for bedtime.
A glare-free lighting switch is installed at the bedroom entrance, designed to minimize light spill. Curtains also automatically open and close in response to sunrise, sunset, and sunlight intensity.

• Point 2 [Temperature & Humidity] Thermal environment that minimizes physical strain
For a comfortable indoor environment, it is essential to maintain a uniform indoor temperature.

reduces the physical strain caused by sudden temperature fluctuations.
MyReno Well includes double-glazed windows as standard and uses insulation in the walls to maintain a consistent room temperature.
The bedroom is equipped with floor heating, maintaining a temperature of 16-20 degrees Celsius even in winter.
This system suppresses cold air from the windows during the coldest hours from midnight to early morning, gradually warming the room from the floor up.

• Point 3 [Sound] Blocking external and internal noise to create a relaxing living environment
A quiet environment is ideal for sleep. Urban noise can disrupt sleep, and sounds tend to reverberate and easily enter living spaces, especially in high-rise apartments.

MyReno Well installs soundproof double windows in living rooms and private rooms. Toilets and bathrooms, where everyday sounds are more noticeable, feature sound-absorbing walls, ensuring a living environment free from distracting noises.

● Two Points for Creating a Home for Vibrant Mind and Body
To extend healthy life expectancy and continue living vibrantly in mind and body, it is important to optimize not only the sleep environment but also the daily living environment.
• Point 1 Design for Living that Adapts to Change
For winter, a bedroom environment with a temperature of 16-20 degrees Celsius and humidity of 40-60% is recommended. By using materials with high insulation and moisture absorption properties, sudden changes in temperature and humidity are prevented, maintaining a stable environment. Furthermore, the use of natural materials in bedrooms and living areas creates an air environment that is gentle on the body. In hallways, sleek and safe handrails, like wainscoting that doesn't obstruct the passage width, have been installed. Integrated indirect lighting gently illuminates hands and feet even at night.
• Point 2 Design for Dining
A fulfilling culinary life contributes not only to overall health but also to improved sleep quality and emotional stability. Therefore, MyReno Well proposes custom-designed kitchens that can be used with peace of mind at any age. The control panel for the range hood, typically placed high up, has been conveniently located within reach. A waste bin is placed on the kitchen side, and a dishwasher under the sink, reducing steps during cooking and cleanup to create a highly functional, custom kitchen. Additionally, the custom kitchen allows for the integration of preferred cooking appliances. A hydroponic cultivation area is also provided, offering the pleasure of watching herbs, leafy greens, and houseplants grow.
