At the convergence of vitality, community, and place.

Florence ยท 1462

In 1462, Cosimo de' Medici gave Marsilio Ficino a villa and that single act sparked the Platonic Academy.

A place where philosophers, artists, architects and patrons gathered in the same rooms, not as titles but as minds in conversation.

Their dialogues fueled Renaissance humanism's focus on human potential, creativity, reason-imagination synthesis, and communal bonds.

These gatherings ushered in Florence's golden age.

Centuries pass. Human nature doesn't.
What We See

Life has been optimized for speed, scale, and screens. Everything except each other.

The deepest need remains unchanged: real connection found in physical places, purposeful communities, and how we care for our bodies and minds.

The next era will be shaped by those building what actually matters. The places, companies, and communities where longevity, vitality, and human connection converge across generations.

For founders, families, and builders who see what we see.
