REVIVE AWAKEN WONDER
Wellness Spa and Hotel
The spa is intended to be an environment which contrasts ones ‘everyday’ urban lifestyle. An escape which tantalizes one’s senses. In doing so one is expected to feel revived upon the conclusion of their experience with the spa. A range of thermal pools, grounded in the opulent dark marble, with a light slit at the roof, mark the starting point of the journey. Courtyards in various sizes, with natural greenery and trees offer an intimate pause.
The wellness spa can be expressed in a dual manner, The first being an occupant of the hotel, The second visits daily to enjoy the facilities provided by the spa and treatment centre.
This luxurious Hotel and Spa emerged as a result of 3 core values
Pure/ Purity
Multi- sensory
Unique
The 3 culminate and are expressed through:
-Clean geometries
-The pureness or raw state of materiality
A multi-sensory experience for those wanting to escape their monotonous lifestyle, who desire a space for relaxation and healing.
The Images above capture the essence of the interiors within the spa.
In contrast to the spa which utilizes weighted materials, the intention for the hotel rooms was to exude a light and airy atmosphere whilst still retaining characteristics of the spa in each hotel room bathroom.
