Reception
The reception area is designed to feel organic and calming upon entry. Moulded niches with Venetian plaster add natural texture, while pink terrazzo flooring and a pink travertine bench provide a soft contrast. Earthy tones in the terrazzo tie into the timber joinery and shelving. Brick-like tiles on the reception desk offer a tactile, irregular surface that enhances the organic feel.
Pool/Spa
The pool design responds to existing site geometry, creating an open space with a deeper, circular plunge pool for relaxation. Travertine and Rosado Antique tumbled stone enhance the natural aesthetic. Light pepplecrete and off-white waterline tiles keep the space airy, while durable outdoor lounges with darker cushions offer both practicality and comfort.
Bar
The bar is a luxurious, high-end retreat with curved joinery to soften bulky furnishings and create spatial flow. A feature partition wall showcases products and natural stone, complementing brick-like tiles. Built-in low seating maximizes views and ambient lighting, offering a stylish and versatile space for socializing or working.
Immersive Tank
This one-person retreat focuses on monochromatic tones for a serene, introspective environment. A central round artificial skylight provides ambient brightness, enhancing the calming atmosphere.
Pilates Studio
Designed for tranquility, the studio uses neutral tones and organic textures. Sheer curtains maintain an airy feel, while arched mirrors and Venetian plaster create openness and soften hard edges.
Facilities
Hotel bathrooms are designed to feel grand and indulgent. A warm, earthy checked floor and arched travertine splashbacks bring softness and luxury to the space, offering guests an immersive escape.
Sitting Area
This light-filled space invites calm productivity. Dark timber accents contrast with light travertine floors, while duck egg blue upholstery subtly separates the area from the rest of the hub.
Sauna
Sculptural on the outside, the infrared sauna is functional within, featuring large slab tiles for easy maintenance. A built-in shower, sink, and mirror allow guests to refresh post-session and seamlessly transition to other areas of the wellbeing hub.
