The relaxation center was conceived as a multi-purpose space where users would be educated through seminars, familiarized with quantum medicine, and relax with massage and gong meditation. Therefore, the project task included the creation of an interior design solution that would include all the client's requirements and different uses of the space.
In the architectural design, the contrast between the concept of the Center and the context of the space in which it will be located had the greatest impact. The starting point during the design was the general idea that meditation and relaxation go hand in hand with the natural environment, far from the city crowd. On the other hand, the space itself is located on the ground floor of a residential and commercial building that is modern in form and materialization. These contrasts were the biggest challenge in designing the interior.
The insufficient amount of natural light in the space was an additional aggravating circumstance that had to be solved. The glass facade is located only on one, narrow side of the premises, where the entrance is. This deficiency served as an inspiration for the play of light to become a key motif in defining the interior, which will not only compensate for the lack of natural light, but also achieve a relaxing and mystical atmosphere upon entering the premises.
The existing structure and the small size of the premises determined the functional layout of the Center's rooms, as well as the application of certain solutions, which should achieve a feeling of spaciousness. At the very entrance there is a reception area with a desk and a bench. There is also a small office for quantum medicine, separated from the entrance area by a glass partition and a curtain, which maintains the continuity of the space and enables isolation when needed.
The space behind the entrance area is divided into two blocks by a long corridor, through which you can access the facilities - the massage room and wardrobe on the right, and the multipurpose room on the left. The corridor at the bottom of the premises ends with a free-standing sink and hints at the area of the toilet and bathroom with shower. The walls of the massage room are covered with dark veneered mdf panels and contain minimal ambient lighting. On the other hand, the walls of the multi-purpose room are built of two layers of wooden mesh, between which are semi-permeable panels of milky white color and carefully placed lighting, the intensity of which can be controlled.
Flat and reduced forms, natural materials, neutral colors, a small number of pieces of furniture, and cast floors in light tones were used in the space, followed by the same simple treatment of walls and ceilings. All the elements in the interior were chosen in such a way as to further emphasize the main role played by light, and together to create a harmonious and soothing ambient.
