In starting this project, it was very important to me to create a space where the accessibly disabled can maneuver without the help of an assistance. A place where they can be free and feel like they can do whatever they want without any limitations.
This spa is a place to go to release your body, mind and soul. There are three different environments: a steam cove that is separated by a cool wall of falling water, an indoor-gradual decline into the pool, and the outdoor pool which includes a central calm water area and surrounding flowing water.
The bathing space is designed for the user to easily release themselves from their wheel chair and steadily float through the pool. This will free them from the feeling of confinement and need of someone else to help them.
The surrounding area of this space is the Greek isles. This is because there is beautiful scenery from the high cliffs, and there is a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, which is what I wanted for this spa as well.
Materials were incorporated by imitation into the design that is found in Greek architecture, such as Gypsum and other hard materials. Greek design uses a lot of shades of blue to imitate the color of the Mediterranean Sea.
