About Manila Interieurontwerp Spa

Manila is een spa-interieur gelegen in Manila, de Filipijnen, met een totale oppervlakte van 8000 vierkante meter. Het ontwerp combineert de klassieke architectuur van de stad met elementen van de Chinese binnenhof en verbindt traditionele en moderne technieken. Omdat de luchtvochtigheid hoog is, wordt composiet houtplastic gebruikt in plaats van massief hout. De entree vormt een trapeziumvormige ruimte met moderne pilaren onder uitstekende houten dakranden. In de receptieruimte komen marmer, donker hout en textiel van katoen en linnen samen. Donkere houten vloeren en meubels met strakke lijnen creëren een warme en comfortabele sfeer.
