While entering the spa, the darkness shuts down your thoughts and immerses you fully in the present moment. With darkness surrounding you, you embrace the other senses. With every step, your feet are grounded in the feeling of the raw slate texture. You can hear calming music at the end of the corridor. It guides you forward.

As you walk, your eyes begin to adjust to the darkness, and you start noticing the shapes and textures around you.

The ritual begins with a sound bath meditation. Then the client moves to the shower and then to the infrared sauna for relaxation. There is an ice fountain to refresh and to feel the contrast of the temperatures. After the sauna the body is ready for the heart of the spa ritual—the massage. Following the massage, the individual may receive other soothing treatments or plunge into the swimming pool outside. 

Using proper zoning and dividing the space into functional areas, we enhance privacy while creating the illusion of spaciousness. The floor plan is arranged to navigate instinctively throughout the space.
