Breaking away from rigid straight lines and giving way to a fluid and sensual flow of spaces, a conscious attempt is made to mold the spa with sensitive spaces for the client, as the functions are very personal. Warm tones and natural textures are used to bring in an earthy, oriental feel while retaining a refined, simplistic language to the space. Subtle accentuation of each area is done using ambient lighting and hand-picked artwork.The fluid reception, waiting lounge and treatment rooms are decorated in woody browns and raw-finished stone. The stark white of the sanitary ware stand out in contrast to the darker depth of the tiles. The salon spaces are decorated in brighter whites, carrying just a trace of wood within. Impressive curved panels of glass are used for complete indulgence in the landscaped deck and the tree-tops of the park beyond. The serene Buddha in the centre of the water body adds the finishing touch, dimly lit with flickering candles. August urns and delicate tea-lights coupled with bright peppy furnishings lend to the space a hint of nostalgia.
