PRIVATE SPA

Inspiration is the initial perception that arises at the intersection of tranquility and illumination. Tranquility, the immeasurable desire to exist and express, is the source of new needs. Illumination, the measurable giver of existence, measures the created objects with intention and laws. The boundary where tranquility and illumination converge is inspiration, the sanctuary of art, the treasury of shadows. - Louis Kahn, "Silence and Light."

The private SPA space is located within a private garden in the center of Shanghai. Nature and the changing seasons serve as our source of design inspiration. Tranquility and an Oriental charm are the desired atmosphere we aim to create in this project, blending elements of modernism with traditional Eastern aesthetics. Through the interaction and feedback between materials and the surrounding natural environment, we immerse the experiencers in tranquility while allowing them to perceive the rhythm and charm of nature.

Simultaneously, in terms of overall color tones and material selection, we not only express a natural and gentle artistic conception but also delve into the details. We explore how materials can express the "essence" of Eastern aesthetics in their inherent form while also conveying the "form" of modernism through their junction.
