The
Opportunity
To create an upbeat modern wellness scene within the historical Art Deco vaults of the W Landmark building in Amsterdam. The owner’s vision was to connect the spa with an art workshop space to create an inspiring ambience and community feel, expanding beyond the boundaries of a traditional spa setting.
Our
Approach
We worked with the architects to retain original design elements and integrate an eclectic mix of Art Deco and modern design. We then focused on the interaction of the cocktail culture and explorative workshops with associated wellness trends by using the body, face and nails as a living canvas for art and wellbeing. Treatments, for example, were choreographed rituals to light and music, and we eliminated the need for a formal reception desk, creating a “welcome to my living room” experience instead.
The
Result
The resulting spa became a bold and exciting addition to the wellness scene in Amsterdam.
