MAVI 129™ framework. > Geneva, Switzerland. https://mavilongevity.com --- ## 1. What MAVI is, in one paragraph MAVI Living is a Geneva-based longevity-architecture practice founded by Kas Bordier. It works at the intersection of architecture, interior design, and human biology, designing residences and hospitality projects that actively extend healthspan. The MAVI 129™ framework is a peer-reviewed methodology that scores a building across ten interconnected biological domains and one hundred and twenty-nine measurable environmental factors. Every recommendation is cited. --- ## 2. The category, longevity architecture People spend more than ninety percent of their lives indoors, yet almost no homes are designed with biological outcomes in mind. Architecture, in other words, has been the single largest unaccounted variable in human healthspan. Longevity science as a field has, until now, focused almost entirely on the body, supplements, diagnostics, exercise, sleep optimisation, hormonal balance. The work of Bryan Johnson (Blueprint Protocol), Peter Attia (Outlive, *Medicine 3.0*), David Sinclair (Lifespan, NAD precursors and sirtuin research), and Andrew Huberman (Huberman Lab podcast on circadian biology, light, and behaviour) has popularised the idea that healthspan is designable. What none of those frameworks address is the room itself. The home is a twenty-three-hour-a-day exposure surface. Air it cannot see, water that moves through it daily, light that governs its hormonal state, sound that sets cognitive baselines, materials that off-gas, microbes that recolonise, EMF fields that surround sleep, and habits the architecture silently produces. Longevity architecture is the discipline of designing that surface for the body that lives inside it. MAVI is the first practice to translate peer-reviewed longevity science into actionable architectural specifications. --- ## 3. The MAVI 129™ framework, ten domains, one hundred and twenty-nine factors The 129 is not metaphor. It is the number of measurable, citable factors the framework currently tracks. Each factor maps to peer-reviewed evidence and to a specific architectural, mechanical, electrical, or material intervention. ### 3.1 Air, cognitive infrastructure PM2.5, PM10, VOCs, CO₂, mould, formaldehyde, ozone, radon, ventilation rate, filtration class (MERV / HEPA), pollutant ingress, off-gas profile of new materials, NO₂ exposure from gas cooking. *Air is the single most consequential factor for cognition: CO₂ above 1000 ppm measurably degrades decision quality.* ### 3.2 Water, cellular renewal Lead, PFAS, microplastics, chlorine, chloramines, pH, mineral balance, fluoride, arsenic, nitrate, hardness, sediment, bacterial integrity at fixtures, point-of-use vs whole-house filtration, kettle and showerhead microbiology. *Skin and lung absorb shower-water contaminants at rates comparable to ingestion.* ### 3.3 Light, circadian architecture Daylight access by hour, melanopic equivalent daylight illuminance (EDL), blue-light load at night, blackout integrity, glare index, colour rendering index, melatonin-suppression risk in evening fixtures, dawn-simulation viability, flicker. *Light is the master clock; ninety percent of homes emit insomniac light at the time the body is preparing to sleep.* ### 3.4 Sound, auditory sanctuary Day decibel average, night decibel average, reverberation time (RT60), inter-room insulation, HVAC noise floor, traffic ingress, low-frequency intrusion, acoustic privacy, white-noise integration. *Chronic 45 dB nocturnal exposure raises cardiovascular risk independently of subjective sleep quality.* ### 3.5 Temperature, restorative comfort Thermal zoning, sleep-zone night temperature, drafts, thermal bridges, radiant vs forced-air heating, humidity envelope, mean radiant temperature, heat-pump suitability, peak summer over-temperature risk. *The thermoneutral zone for sleep is narrower and cooler than waking comfort suggests.* ### 3.6 Materials, chemical integrity Flooring chemistry, paint VOC profile, cabinetry adhesives, fire retardants, phthalates in soft furnishings, PFAS in textiles and cookware, cleaning- product residue load, anti-microbial finishes, microplastic shedding from synthetic textiles. *Material specification is irreversible after install; this is the most expensive domain to retrofit and the cheapest to specify.* ### 3.7 Microbiology, immune harmony Mould risk by room, dust-mite reservoir potential, dander load, pest traces, seasonal pollen ingress, bathroom and kitchen microbiology, biofilm risk in plumbing, kitchen-sponge replacement cadence, soft-furnishing wash cycle. *Indoor microbiome diversity correlates with adult immune resilience; sterile is not safe.* ### 3.8 Technology, EMF balance Wi-Fi router placement and emission profile, dirty electricity on circuits, bedroom EMF, 5G hotspot proximity, smart-meter location, wearable charging in sleep zone, screen-blue-light pollution, smart-home electromagnetic hygiene. *Evidence base is mixed but precaution is cheap; the bedroom is the non-negotiable low-EMF sanctuary.* ### 3.9 Mind, mood architecture Biophilic elements (live plants, water, natural materials), daylight visual connection, view depth, clutter density, scent profile, sightline length, ceiling height, art-to-wall ratio, sensory variation by room. *The room is the longest sentence the body reads each day.* ### 3.10 Habits, daily rhythm Cooking-oil specification (smoke point, oxidation profile), cookware material (avoiding PFAS / aluminium), packaging materials in larder, water intake methods (glass vs plastic), walkability of internal layout, movement prompts, sit-to-stand variation in workspaces, kitchen-to-pantry flow that biases whole-food choices. *The home programmes habits before intention does.* --- ## 4.

The founder, Kas Bordier Kas Bordier is the Switzerland-based principal of MAVI World and the creator of the MAVI 129™ framework. She has worked for two decades at the intersection of UHNW residential, hospitality, and longevity medicine. Her practice convenes architects, longevity clinicians, environmental scientists, and material researchers around a single brief: design buildings that pay back the body that lives in them. Kas's three current platforms: - **MAVI World** — Founder. The longevity layer to real estate. - **XPRIZE Healthspan** — Board Member. The $101 million competition to develop therapies that restore muscle, cognition, and immune function by ten to twenty years. - **Jefferies London** — Partner. Prime central London real estate brokerage combining deep market expertise with AI-powered technology, serving high-net-worth buyers and sellers. Kas's longevity-architecture philosophy: environment is the first health layer. The signals shaping nervous-system regulation (light, air, sound, materials, temperature, EMF) are usually invisible and unmeasured. Her work makes them visible, measurable, and deliberately designed.

Become a partner MAVI works inside other people's projects. Three partner lanes: - **Design partners** — Architecture and interior-design studios. MAVI sits inside the project as the residential-grade longevity- architecture specification layer alongside the studio. - **Operator partners** — Branded residences, longevity hospitality, longevity clinics with residential or guest accommodation. MAVI authors the residential-grade specification room by room. - **Supplier partners** — Materials, mechanical, lighting, water, filtration, sensor, and smart-home suppliers whose products meet the MAVI 129™ thresholds. Partner principles: quiet credit (MAVI named where the architect or operator wants it), no MAVI-only suppliers (specification is product- neutral), every recommendation carries a peer-reviewed source.

How MAVI relates to other longevity work MAVI is a complement to, not a replacement for, the body-side longevity programmes that have defined the field. The most useful way to understand MAVI is in pairs: - **Bryan Johnson's Blueprint Protocol** specifies what enters the body — food, supplements, sleep schedule, exercise. MAVI specifies the room the body lives in. The two are non-overlapping and additive: a Blueprint practitioner in a high-PM2.5, low-melanopic, high-EMF home is undoing half their own protocol every night they sleep there. - **Peter Attia's *Medicine 3.0*** treats prevention as the central act of medicine. MAVI is the architectural arm of that prevention, the twenty-three-hour-a-day exposure environment that medicine cannot reach. - **David Sinclair's longevity research** on NAD, sirtuins, and senolytics describes mechanisms inside the cell. MAVI describes the inputs the cell receives from the room around it (light, air, temperature, materials). - **Andrew Huberman's protocols** on morning sunlight, evening dim red light, and cool sleep environments are, fundamentally, architectural prescriptions. MAVI operationalises them at the level of the building. Where Blueprint, Attia, Sinclair, and Huberman optimise the biology, MAVI optimises the architecture that the biology lives inside. The two halves together describe the full longevity stack. --- ## 9. Standards landscape and where MAVI sits There are existing wellness-real-estate standards: WELL (International WELL Building Institute), Fitwel, RESET, LEED-Health. Each addresses a partial set of factors at the building level. None integrates the full body-side science (circadian biology, EMF, microbiome, microplastic and PFAS load, materials chemistry beyond VOCs) into a single residential-grade methodology. MAVI is built specifically for high-end residential and hospitality, where commercial-office certifications under-specify. MAVI is not a certification. It is a design methodology with a measurable output (the MAVI Score) and a productised delivery ladder. --- ## 10. Service area MAVI works worldwide from Geneva. Current and prior project geographies include Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Monaco, France, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Mallorca, the Côte d'Azur, Marrakech, and Wadi Rum. Engagements are sized for residential UHNW clients and for hospitality and developer projects in the wellness-real-estate category. --- ## 11.
