Introduction to MYRENO WELL
A revolutionary living solution has emerged in Tokyo, led by Global Base Co., Ltd. in collaboration with PARAMOUNT BED Co., Ltd. The first completed project under the custom renovation service, MYRENO WELL, focuses on designing living spaces specifically tailored for individuals requiring assistance. This exciting initiative optimizes living conditions, blending comfort with practical support for those with mobility challenges.
Background of the Renovation
The project’s primary client utilizes an electric wheelchair for commuting to an urban office and requires constant assistance. Standard living spaces have numerous accessibility issues, particularly regarding bathrooms and toilets, necessitating significant adjustments for the client to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. Key requirements included creating living flow patterns that don't heavily rely on caregiver support and establishing relaxing atmospheres at home. MYRENO WELL addressed these needs through detailed consultations with the client regarding their lifestyle and assistance needs, resulting in a fully customized renovation designed to empower independence and confidence both at home and in social settings.

Key Features of the First Renovation Project
The first MYRENO WELL renovation integrates features specifically designed for individuals needing assistance. The client has limited mobility, requiring support from various caregivers, and the renovation aims to create an environment that facilitates comfort regardless of who is assisting them.
Point 1: Co-Constructed Living for Caregivers and Clients
The layout includes a spacious area for the bedroom and living room, allowing for a dedicated caregiver space while ensuring the client's privacy. Features like easy-to-access lifts for transfers from a wheelchair to the bed are installed to promote safety and comfort.
Point 2: Climate-Controlled Environment
Recognizing that clients perceive temperature differently, the renovation incorporates double-glazed windows and insulation to maintain a stable indoor climate and enhance comfort, minimizing sudden temperature fluctuations that could pose risks.
Point 3: Wheelchair-Compatible Layout
The entrance features an expansive mudroom to accommodate multiple electric wheelchairs and provides smooth transfer options between indoor and outdoor mobility devices. The wider hallways ensure ease of movement for wheelchair users throughout the home. Additionally, the incorporation of smart home devices allows for voice-controlled operations of lights, curtains, and more, significantly improving independence.
Point 4: Customized Furnishings
Customized furniture tailored to the client's needs is essential in the kitchen and living spaces. For example, a sink at an accessible height and a specially designed table with elbow supports facilitate meal times, allowing for enjoyable experiences despite physical limitations.
Insight from Design Team
Miki Honma, designer at Global Base, emphasizes that the goal of this renovation was to create a comfortable and secure environment for those using wheelchairs while also considering the needs of their caregivers. By strategically addressing structural elements like entry widths and transitional areas, the design nurtures inclusivity and safety. Additionally, focusing on insulation and temperature handling ensures that clients experience year-round comfort while cultivating an inviting aesthetic.
Future Aspirations
This MYRENO WELL project serves as a pioneering example of how those with disabilities can live autonomously in tailored environments. The collaboration with PARAMOUNT BED and other healthcare experts ensures that various lifestyles can be accommodated through ongoing innovations in living spaces.
