The Eden Day Spa is located
at 388 Broadwayin in Manhattan’s Soho
neighborhood. With a large street-level storefront,
the primary design consideration was the creation
of an entry sequence that contained public space
for retail sales that transitioned into the
private space and serenity required for a spa.
The solution utilised a single
curving element that begins as a display case,
becomes the receptionist desk, and concludes
as a wall. This wall is intersected by a small
hallway that acts as a "decompression chamber"
with a large door at one end leading into the
spa proper. These new elements are constructed
of stock hot-rolled steel and opal Plexiglas
with an integral lighting system. |
