RESIDENTIAL
CONTEMPORARY SPA
Tucked beneath the main floor of a private residence, the Gibson Spa emerges as a subterranean sanctuary of elemental purity—sculpted from stone, water, and light. Every gesture is intentional. Every surface is serene.
The architecture orbits around a glowing onyx wall—its marbled veins softly illuminated behind a Dornbracht Aquamoon rain shower, turning the act of bathing into ritual. On either side, two minimalistic boxes—one sauna, one steam—anchor the composition in perfect symmetry, each wrapped in glass and framed in quiet shadow. Inside, fiberoptic stars shimmer overhead in silence.
The walls are finished in hand-troweled tadelakt plaster, cut with crisp black reveals that echo the linear rigor of the space. Against this luminous matte backdrop, deep black Italian stone provides grounding. Richly textured and tactile, it runs vertically across the spa walls in rhythmic lines, catching and releasing light like ink running across silk.
At the heart of the space, a freestanding cylindrical sink—carved from solid marble and veined with warm brass—offers a sculptural moment of pause. Minimalist Dornbracht fixtures in brushed steel heighten the spa’s quiet tension: heavy materials delivered with featherlight restraint.
This is not wellness by design trend.
It is sacred space, rendered through discipline.
A retreat that removes all noise—until only essence remains.
