Sesshu Design - Unleashing Peak Performance - Luxury Design Meets Wellness Innovation

In the realm of elite living, where every detail counts and peak performance is a constant pursuit, Sesshu Design is leading a transformative approach in luxury interior design. Inspired by several recent clients who pushed them to delve deeper into wellness-focused design, they have embraced Performance-Driven Design—a methodology that combines cutting-edge biohacking techniques with holistic principles to create environments that are as functional as they are stunning. They focus on crafting spaces that not only embody opulence but also enhance well-being and support an ultra-healthy lifestyle for exceptional performance.



The Sesshu Design philosophy begins with the basics of a healthy home. They prioritize eliminating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from finishes, building materials, and furniture to ensure that your home environment promotes health rather than compromising it. Whole-home water filtration systems are a standard feature, providing pure, clean water for every use. For clients with chemical sensitivities, sophisticated air filtration and purification systems ensure the air you breathe is as clean as possible.


“Quality sleep is the cornerstone of peak performance and overall well-being,” says Tanya Shively, owner and principal designer at Sesshu Design. “We use natural, organic bedding and mattresses to enhance sleep quality by minimizing exposure to harmful chemicals and allergens. A well-designed sleep environment not only supports physical recovery but also boosts cognitive function and emotional stability.”



Recognizing the importance of natural light and a connection to nature, Sesshu Design incorporates abundant daylight and biophilic elements into their projects. By integrating expansive views and nature-inspired materials, they enhance both aesthetic appeal and mental clarity, reducing stress for high achievers operating at peak levels.


Amenities for Peak Performance

Performance-Driven Designs cater to the needs of high achievers, whether they are elite athletes, top executives, or high-profile celebrities. These highly personalized interiors integrate a range of advanced wellness features that cater to demanding lifestyles. Infrared saunas and steam rooms provide relaxation and muscle recovery. High-tech exercise rooms are tailored for personalized workouts, incorporating the latest fitness technology and equipment.



Yoga and meditation spaces are meticulously designed to foster tranquility and focus, essential for maintaining peak mental and physical performance. EMF protection strategies are implemented to mitigate exposure to electromagnetic fields, ensuring a healthy living environment. These resort style living homes feature hot tubs and lap pools, using hyper-oxygenated water systems minimize chemical exposure and are better for your skin. 


Circadian rhythm lighting systems adjust to your body’s natural cycles, promoting better sleep and increased alertness. Health-centric kitchens and bathrooms feature amenities designed to support nutritious eating and wellness routines, such as under-counter refrigerators for quick access to healthy drinks and towel warmer drawers for post-workout relaxation. 



As the demand for performance-driven design evolves, this Arizona based design firm is incorporating the latest innovations to further enhance your living experience. Cold-plunge pools offer a rejuvenating method of reducing inflammation, while salt rooms lined with sea salt make excellent mediation spaces. The salt emits beneficial ions that aid in stress reduction and improve respiratory health. Hyperbaric oxygen chambers are available for extreme inflammation reduction and accelerated recovery. “We’ve had one client with health challenges install one to speed up her recovery from mycotoxin poisoning due to mold in a previous home,” Shively comments. Wellness pods combine aromatherapy, light therapy, and sound therapy into one integrated experience.


Some clients seek grounding or earthing methods to promote balance and reduce stress by connecting with the Earth’s natural energy. These innovative approaches reflect the Scottsdale design studio’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of luxury and wellness in home design.

At Sesshu Design, a Performance-Driven Design approach is about more than just luxury; it’s about creating spaces that support and enhance your every moment. Whether you are navigating a high-stress career, pursuing athletic excellence, or living a high-profile lifestyle, these bespoke designs are crafted to give you the ultimate edge.


“Transforming a home into a sanctuary of peak performance and luxury is our passion,” Shively shares. “Whether you’re in a bustling city or a tranquil retreat, we’re committed to elevating your living experience to extraordinary heights.”
