Carmel Forest Spa, Jerusalem
Spa & Wellness / Israel / HBA London / COMPLETED IN 2018
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The indoor lap pool sits at the heart of the spa and looks as if the cavernous space has trapped the very source of "Jerusalem Gold" between its faceted ceiling and Jerusalem stone walls. The grand design statements of the rough-hewn lava stone feature wall with its cascading waterfall and the golden crystalline structure of the ceiling capture elements of the volcanic. In contrast to this grandeur, the seven treatment rooms, including a couple’s treatment suite, are simple and calming. They combine warm timber floors with a stone envelope and a light projection wall to create spaces where the focus is all on guest wellbeing.
