About Manila Spa-ynterieurûntwerp

Manila is in spa-ynterieur yn Manila, de Filipinen, mei in totale oerflakte fan 8000 fjouwerkante meter. It ûntwerp kombinearret de klassike arsjitektuer fan de stêd mei Sineeske binnenpleinen en ferbynt tradisjonele en moderne techniken. Om't de loftfochtichheid heech is, wurdt gearstald houtplastyk brûkt yn plak fan massyf hout. De yngong foarmet in trapesiumfoarmige romte mei moderne pylders ûnder ferlingde houten dakrânen. It ûntfangstgebiet bringt marmer, donker hout, katoenen en linnen tekstyl byinoar. Donkere houten flierren en meubels mei skerpe linen skeppe in waarme en noflike sfear.
