Hotel and Spa Retreat Anne Rauschenbach
Problem Statement The client in the Midwest portion of the United States does not have access to spa practices and methods that are more accessible to the coasts. Because of this the Midwest is not a popular destination for spas and retreats across the country.
Concept Statement Layers of colors. This can be seen in the sediment in the rock formations of the badlands, the sunsets in the area, and the unseen colors of a persons auras. These colors tie us humans and the physical world. It can be seen in the landscapes of the area and can be achieved in the human aura through meditation and self reflection
