The main idea was laid down by the client - it was a reinterpretation of traditional Japanese interiors and the creation of a modern, minimalist spa and gym.

The primary objective was to expand and merge several different zones, just as water in a river does when it flows through different landscapes. So the spa zone flows into the zen garden, the zen garden into the gym.

The second is a manoeuvre between classic Japanese interiors and the modern lifestyle. Tranquillity and harmony are combined with cutting-edge technology. And the lighting and natural materials draw everything together.

Third, the use of natural materials, which, for all their minimalist presentation, have a multitude of textures and patterns.
