Project overview
Being located in the basement, the main challenge of the space was the lack of natural light. In the reception area, we compensated for this by installing a coffered ceiling with lighting that mimics daylight intensity. The entire area is peripherally isolated from the spaces that direct the visitor flow through terrariums filled with lush vegetation. The reception area also features wooden furniture and leather upholstery. The centerpiece is the reception desk, which imitates rock. Another accent element is the bas-relief in the elevator area, which illustrates the leitmotif of nature.
Project history
Given that we designed not only the interior for VIVI SPA but also the entire complex in which it is located, we were able to envision this space right from the architectural planning stage. Thus, it was at this stage that we planned the openings adjacent to the exterior walls. Later, these two openings became oases of living plants, which several of the spa spaces overlook.The main requirements from the client were for the interior design to emanate intimacy and comfort. The wall finishes in the hallways mimic a starry sky, transporting you into a unique atmosphere. While we opted for dark shades in the common areas, the other spaces were decorated in pastel tones to provide psychological comfort. This includes the two hammams, which are clad in ceramic tiles featuring a warm, bold pattern.In the end, we achieved all our objectives, with VIVI SPA becoming an iconic interior space among similar venues.
