Introduction to the Project
M1K3 PROJECT spearheaded a comprehensive interior refurbishment of the spa center at the Kempinski Grand Arena in Bansko, Bulgaria. The project aimed to elevate the spa’s ambiance, catering to guests seeking relaxation and luxury post-skiing or hiking in the scenic Pirin mountain range.
Transformation of Interior Elements
The refurbishment involved the complete removal of old interior design elements like equipment, finishes, and lighting, replacing them with updated counterparts while making minor adjustments to the existing floor plan.
Concept and Design Philosophy
The core concept of the new interior design revolves around fostering a sense of tranquility and opulence for guests during their spa experience. Whether preparing for a massage near the reception, enjoying a refreshing drink at the “Vitamin bar” by the indoor swimming pool, or lounging on custom-designed benches post-swim, the design aims to encourage guests to slow down and engage their senses fully.
Integrating Natural Elements Indoors
The project seamlessly integrates natural elements such as the flow of water, the warmth of fire, and the freshness of ice within the spa’s interior. Features like fireplaces, an ice fountain, and a heated relaxation bench resembling natural formations like ocean waves or sand dunes enhance the sensory experience. Professional spa equipment complements these elements, ensuring a holistic wellness experience.
Material Choices and Atmosphere Creation
To craft an inviting and cozy lounge area, M1K3 PROJECT opted for natural materials like wood, stone, porcelain tiles, and mosaics. Soft lighting and custom-designed furniture further contribute to the inviting ambiance, encouraging guests to unwind near the warmth of the fireplaces and fostering social interactions within the spa’s tranquil setting.
The revamped spa at Kempinski Grand Arena Bansko stands as a testament to harmoniously blending luxury, comfort, and nature-inspired elements to create a rejuvenating retreat for guests seeking a premium spa experience.
