02 —Concept & Identity

Botanical references, mineral textures and softly curved forms establish the project's identity. Rather than relying on decoration, the concept expresses natural ritual through the architecture, integrated planting and a discreet approach to branding.

03 —Materiality

Limestone tones, pale marble, textured plaster, travertine-like surfaces, ribbed details, woven textiles and subtle metal accents create a tactile material palette. Muted botanical greens introduce depth without disrupting the calm neutral composition.

04 —Arrival & Reception

A sculptural reception desk, curved openings, integrated lighting and carefully positioned planting define the arrival experience. The space creates a gradual transition from the outside environment into the calmer atmosphere of the spa.

05 —Water & Wellness

The pool is conceived as an integral architectural space, where pale mineral surfaces and concealed lighting interact with the water. Reflections, subtle planting and changes in light contribute to a tranquil, immersive environment.

06 —Treatment Spaces

Treatment rooms introduce greater privacy through softened lighting, warm materials and integrated joinery. Recessed storage, curved details and botanical references support practical use while maintaining a calm visual character.

07 —Light & Atmosphere

Natural daylight is complemented by concealed architectural lighting that reveals material texture, curved surfaces and spatial depth. Different layers of illumination allow the interior atmosphere to adapt throughout the day.

08 —The Result

HERBS Spa explores how wellness can be expressed through proportion, material texture, water and light. The result is a contemporary interior concept that prioritises sensory comfort, visual restraint and a close relationship with natural elements.
