Design Details

Unique Properties
A unique high-tech wellness center, where modern people have the opportunity to restore strength, to recharge their creative energy and harmonize their internal state. The techniques used within the center combine the most progressive technologies and ancient healing practices. The interior aims to foster a calm meditative state, that aids recovery and allows contemplation. It emphasizes the importance of the human being and their individual personality.
Inspiration
We were inspired by principles of unity between human and nature. It led us to leverage architectural beauty of the space, filled with natural daylight. All colors and shades are natural, calm and in harmony with the window views in winter and summer time.
Challenge
We were asked to design the interior and manage construction works of a center which is unique to Russia. The interior is supposed to create a favorable atmosphere for our guests revealing their internal potential and harmonization of their personality. It also needed to be multifunctional, effectively using a relatively small space to ensure the privacy of the guests within an intimate atmosphere involved in various procedures and practices. One of the most difficult challenges we faced was how to fit all of the many different areas into the premises, keeping each space visually beautiful and comfortable.
Realization and Technology
The double-height area within the six meter - high ceiling takes up the central part of the ground floor. There is a relaxation area, a bar and café with comfortable seating which serves healthy food and drink, there is also an oxygen bar beside that. The streamlined formed bar is the most spectacular element of the interior. It is made from the resin of the designer’s unique style and symbolizes the life flow from the traditional past to our high-tech future. Under the ceiling there is a meditative installation that slightly swings as the light air flows, it is reminiscent of a floating cloud or an object blown by a warm sea wind.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in 2019 and finished in 2020. The space is situated in the most prestigious residential area of Moscow, Khamovniki (Russia).
