Ark Hills Spa

Mori Building CompanyTokyo, 2000

The redesign of Ark Hills Spa created a new contemporary aesthetic for this health and fitness club. Evocative lighting plays a key role in generating a soothing, restorative and luxurious atmosphere.

Beyond the entrance in the main circulation zone, a backlit wall is washed with continually changing colours. Another ambient glowing glass wall lights the relaxation area. Blue and white tiles in the main pool wrap up the long axial wall which is backlit in blue for a slightly futuristic effect. The sensuous jacuzzi is made of Italian limestone and lined with small circular blue tiles.
