Moen: Elevating Water, Wellness, and Design in the NEWLOOK Experience Home

Ever since the COVID pandemic burst on the scene and disrupted everyday life and raised health fears to a constant drone, the homebuilding has embraced wellness to add to its adoption of sustainability, and sensory-rich living environments. Moen is leader in the wellness movement and it stands at the intersection of performance and design. The Pro Builder NEWLOOK Experience Idea Home showcases both Moen’s design and quality expertise in a curated suite of kitchen and bath fixtures that illustrate how thoughtful water design can enhance the way a home looks, the way it feels, and how it supports a healthier, more restorative lifestyle.

Biophilic Design Through Water
It’s well documented that spending time outdoors in nature, even just sitting under a tree in the backyard, can have significant health benefits. Biophilic design mimics those attributes, bringing the outdoors indoors, which helps reduce anxiety, relieve stress and improve  well-being. One of the most transformative elements is water. It’s dynamic, restorative, and inherently life-affirming. Moen leverages the power of biophilic design with fixtures that deliver water in ways that capture our senses.

In the NEWLOOK home, Moen’s shower systems and faucets bring those principles to life. The smooth flow patterns, quiet performance, and seamless adjustability can replicate the calming, rhythmic qualities of natural streams or rainfall. Organic, natural finishes tie into the natural materials throughout the home. These choices underscore Moen’s holistic approach: water becomes a design medium, not just a utility.

Sustainability Built Into Every Detail
With homeowners increasingly invested in green living, sustainability is no longer a luxury—it’s a baseline expectation. Moen has long been a leader in water stewardship, and the NEWLOOK Experience home offers a practical demonstration of what that leadership looks like in action.

Moen’s EPA WaterSense-certified faucets and showerheads contribute to significant water savings without sacrificing performance. Many of the featured models incorporate advanced flow-optimization technology, delivering satisfying water pressure while reducing usage. Builders will appreciate not only the environmental benefit but also the ability to meet or exceed emerging efficiency standards with no compromise on the user experience.

Beyond water conservation, Moen’s commitment extends to product durability and responsible manufacturing. High-quality materials and rigorous testing ensure longevity, which reduces the need for replacement, minimizes waste, and supports a more circular approach to product lifecycle. For a show home designed to demonstrate forward-thinking trends, Moen’s environmental discipline is an essential pillar.

High-Concept Design for Modern Living
While performance and sustainability drive the engineering behind Moen products, it is the elevated design that ultimately anchors them within the NEWLOOK home’s aesthetic vision. Moen understands that today’s homeowners want cohesive visual narratives across kitchens and baths, and the brand delivers with collections that balance timeless appeal and contemporary expression.

Sleek silhouettes, sculptural shapes, and refined ergonomics position Moen fixtures as architectural elements in their own right. The coordinated offerings of faucets, shower systems, accessories, and hardware enable designers to build harmonized spaces that feel curated and composed. The result is a clean, modern, and resonant look, perfectly aligned with the NEWLOOK project’s emphasis on experiential design.

A Partner for Builders and Designers
For builders, Moen provides not just beauty and efficiency, but reliability and ease of installation. Its deep support for the trade, paired with products that are both high-performance and visually compelling, make Moen an ideal partner for homes that push expectations forward.

In the NEWLOOK Experience home, Moen demonstrates how water, when thoughtfully shaped, can become a central feature of sustainable, wellness-driven, high-concept living.
