Scenario

Use natural, sustainable materials like rammed earth, wood, and stone, ensuring they are non-toxic and eco-friendly to create a healthy, calming environment.

Establish a balanced sense of space and proportion by considering ceiling heights, volume, and symmetry. Curate sightlines and arrival sequences to enhance the user experience, creating a calm and pleasing journey through each space.

Celebrate simplicity through thoughtful detailing, embracing a 'less is more' approach that removes the superfluous. Let subtle styling shape the ambiance and layer the space’s personality with intention.

Incorporate multi-functional elements and modular furniture that can be easily rearranged or repurposed to adapt to different activities and user needs, ensuring flexibility and efficient use of space.

The spa room layout emphasizes natural materials and thoughtful proportions to create a serene environment. Utilizing rammed earth, pebbles, and wood, each area—the shower, sauna, and bath—is designed to enhance wellness with eco-friendly and sustainable choices. The spatial composition and sightlines guide users through a calming sequence, inviting a deep connection to nature in each transition.
