The wellness SPA adopts wabi-sabi aesthetics as its core design principle. The spatial layout begins with a recessed entrance, incorporating the outdoor garden landscape. Through the use of rustic materials and deliberately left-blank spaces, the design counteracts external noise, allowing clients to immediately immerse themselves in a soothing and relaxing atmosphere.
Large areas of low-saturation warm wood tones are combined with off-white walls to create a soft, natural spatial atmosphere. The inherent warmth and texture of the materials convey a healing quality. The space features numerous curved elements, including arched doorways and rounded wall corners, which reduce the rigidness within the space. Traditional Chinese medicine cabinet-style storage units and earthenware jars, elements associated with Eastern lifestyle aesthetics, evoke in guests a sense of "slow living pace".
The open experience area features folding lattice doors for spatial connectivity and transparency, maintaining a sense of openness while creating layered blank spaces. Relaxation zones such as the hydrotherapy and sauna areas adopt an immersive layout. Combined with radiant floor heating and stepped spatial design, they create a soothing resting experience, allowing clients to achieve physical and mental relaxation through both tactile and visual sensations.
The stepped design that accommodates the height difference between indoor and outdoor spaces naturally echoes the exterior facade. Greenery accents reinforce the natural texture of the space, continuing the wabi-sabi principle of "coexisting with nature".
Staff equipment areas are consolidated in a discreet layout designed to avoid external disruption, preserving the overall tranquil atmosphere of the space. This ensures that clients remain immersed in the sense of returning to nature conveyed by wabi-sabi aesthetics throughout the entire experience, attaining physical and mental healing and restoration within this rustic and tranquil space.
