About Manila Desain Interior Spa

Manila adalah sebuah interior spa yang berlokasi di Manila, Filipina, dengan total luas 8000 meter persegi. Desainnya menggabungkan arsitektur klasik kota tersebut dengan elemen halaman dalam khas Tiongkok serta menyatukan teknik tradisional dan modern. Karena kelembapan udara yang tinggi, kayu plastik komposit digunakan sebagai pengganti kayu solid. Pintu masuk membentuk ruang trapesium dengan pilar-pilar modern di bawah atap kayu yang memanjang. Area resepsionis memadukan marmer, kayu gelap, serta tekstil katun dan linen. Lantai dan perabot dari kayu gelap dengan garis-garis tegas menciptakan suasana yang hangat dan nyaman.
