exhibited at the HQ of the Royal Institute of British Architects from 4th
-30th June 2003 and formed part of the �Recreation by Design� exhibition
along with Richard Rogers, KPF, Wilkinson Eyre et al.
Commissioned to refurbish one of the first facility of its kind in the Far
East, within in a five-star hotel, Bali, Indonesia.
Sea water is warmed up to body temperature for all the
treatments.

The design introduces a new marketing strategy for the spa.
Spaces are designed not just as rooms where treatments take place, but as
unique surroundings which enhance the experience of genuine healing, a new
indulgence in luxury pampering.
The layout is organised
in zones, which the visitor filters through, and which resemble steps in a
healing process. Every single room and zone is designed as part of a
particular treatment and appears as a marketing tool in the treatment
catalogue.
