The desire was to create a contemporary space that customizes therapies based on advanced technology while offering classic treatments using herbal recipes. The resulting proposal was to create a dynamic space that emits the austerity of scientific labs while adding familiar connotations of warm classic interiors.
The inspiration for the ground reception area came from zen philosophy and the dyadic nature of cosmos. Demonstrating two opposite halves, it combines white lava plaster with chocolate brown from the classic color palette - clinical white and scientific reason versus tasteful connotations of human desires. The upper level allocated for the technologically supported treatments, had to feel as spacious and private as possible. The design borrows the warmth of classic wood paneling in chocolate brown and a delicious color palette in biscuit brown, pastry white and Chantilly. Metallic accents in gold and copper enhance the luxurious ambience while linear lighting in hallways assists way finding with reference to medical labs. The basement accommodates the sauna, steam rooms and changing lockers. It also offers a quick access to a central spot for nail and limb treatments, while the journey is completed with the private rooms lit with fiber optics and the natural toned ambience of traditional spa interiors.
The fact that the space extends over three floors of 550 sqmeters, offered the challenge to create a groundbreaking design for a reception that attracts attention. The basement offers the ambience of traditional wellness facilities, without losing its minimal concept. There was also the need for the upper floor, which is occupied by many private rooms, traffic corridors and offices, to keep the brand's identity without missing the ergonomical and practical assets of contemporary office interiors.
