Sky Spa
Wellness Spaces for Kris Lin International Design
The project, located on the top floor with expansive views, aims to create a rejuvenating Spa sanctuary where one can briefly escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Utilizing large floor to ceiling glass windows, it brings the sky indoors, facilitating a holistic experience of mind and body unity. Embracing the concept of Blue Sky, the design transforms the facade windows into floor to ceiling ones, recreating the sky's scenery. Additionally, through an open layout and large windows, it enhances air circulation, elevating the overall health benefits.

Production Technology
The project is located on the top floor, enjoying an excellent view advantage. By combining ultra-clear glass with aluminum alloy, large-scale minimalist glass doors and windows are created, better introducing the outdoor scenery into the interior. This approach integrates the traditional Chinese wellness philosophy of unity of heaven and humanity, and learning from nature.
Design Challenge
Challenge: How to allow "Qi" to circulate indoors. The "circulation of Qi" concept originates from the Chinese philosophy of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, emphasizing the health importance of "Qi". The design opens up walls to create an open layout, introducing fresh air through large floor-to-ceiling windows, refreshing and invigorating the space.
Project Duration
The project was designed in Shanghai, China, in May 2023 and completed in Hebei Province, China, in February 2024.
Operation Flow
Transforming the top-floor space into a wellness SPA offers an urban retreat for body and mind harmony. The design features "Blue Sky," with floor-to-ceiling windows inviting the sky landscape and deepening nature's connection. "Flow of Chi" employs an open layout and large windows for air circulation, boosting space vitality. This leverages the location's advantage for relaxation and wellness, fostering peace of mind.

Inspiration
Concept: 1.Blue Sky: The renovation of the original building's facade involved replacing windows with large, minimalist floor-to-ceiling windows, bringing nature indoors and giving the sky back to the people. 2.Flow of Chi: In line with Chinese tradition, the design focuses on the flow of "Chi" (energy) for health. Walls are removed to improve "Chi" circulation, adopting an open layout and large windows to facilitate natural wind flow and air circulation.
