Shanghai architecture and design studio KUU completed this spa late last year.

The Super Sense Spa is arranged over three levels.

Here’s a bit of info from KUU:

–

This is a 3-level spa in Shanghai by KUU completed in late 2007.

An additional floor in steel was added and the staircase leading up lands at several platforms which are for the spa’s complementary purposes: consultation, beauty treatment, manicure and pedicure.

When walls are thin, they are worked on to give decorative effects with light. When they are deep, they become shelves or form spaces.

    only a stair? that´s all? not architecture, such a white interior

    I love the hallway, very soothing and original. I wish rest of the interior was in the same language. It looks like the other spaces and the hallway don’t belong together spatially. Overall 7/10.

    80’s-like rubbish. Mindless curves and portholes. White on white on light blue. Love the skirting boards…

    i’m amazed at the way the designer play with the form & function of the wall that creates lighting, niches & even form spaces but it’s what marcus wrote about the wall that cathes me!
