The Design

About Aqua Spa El Hotel

Inspirado en la idea de vivir en la cabaña; rodeado del hermoso sonido de la Madre Naturaleza. El espacio se crea pensando en la comodidad. Se utilizaron tonos oscuros para imitar el color natural de la naturaleza, mientras que los elementos de madera aislaron el espacio del frío, dándole calidez al espacio con una agradable riqueza de la Madre Naturaleza. También se añaden ladrillos rojos y cuero a la mezcla para permitir que la cabina salga a la luz mientras se disfruta de los artículos que ofrece el salón. Un lugar apto para hospedar a cualquier dama y caballero.

Unique Properties: Strategically positioned lighting elements that draw attention to these spaces in just the right way by revealing the rugged surfaces of the stone-covered walls and the way the flecked gold wallpaper changes color depending on the viewing angle.

Production Technology: The design is to recreate a place where one can have a sense of being transported back in time to enjoy the serenity and tranquil of a simpler life with the benefit of advanced technology. The richness of textures and materials used are heavily prioritized to enable the design to match perfectly with one another while, contrasting decors which blends in well with the interior were also used to add in interest and to bring out the uniqueness of the spa.
Design Challenge: Due to the geographical location of Malaysia, many materials were source from other countries in order to get the ambiance and the authenticity of what to be presented in the interior.
Research: There has been an extensive research on luxury spas when designing as we wanted to capture the experience of fully immersing oneself to enjoy and relax. The whole process was tedious as we needed to be able to extract samples of materials used as the hues are so similar that it will only be differentiated through textures. Besides experimenting with different textures, we experimented with different types of lighting and ways to place it in order to create a certain temperament and the results were stunning, comfortable and yet classy for many to enjoy and unwind.
Inspiration: Inspired by the common yearning among people today for a return to a time where life was so much simpler. An Oriental themed interior was carefully curated to provide the space with ampule of peace and serenity. The aim was to provide an atmosphere that is not only pleasing to the eye but evokes emotional comfort that one would bring home to heart.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2015 and finished in January 2018 in Bukit Mertajam, Malaysia.
Operation Flow: The Aqua spa caters to an exquisite lifestyle and luxury indulgence to the surrounding community which includes a tea and chess room, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, pool, buffet, VIP lounge and etc.
Greeted with an Oriental themed interior, one would find the space beautifully planned with much activities to explore, paired with just the right amount of feature highlights. Contrasting the dark spaces for relaxation, to the light spaces for activities while playing with textured wallpaper and blending it with natural stone finishes to create visual interest.
