Magical Spa !

A spa in Miami, inspired by the patterns on the inside of Jeannie’s magic bottle !

Well it certainly breaks away from what one would usually associate with a spa 

– minimalist, sparse, light ….. This space is all about rich texture, colour, contrast, and strategic lighting.

I love the Moroccan lamps throwing dramatic shadows on the dark walls and the light ethereal paper lanterns of the lounge area. I especially love the saffron and turquoise contrast for the treatment rooms.

The story boards are really beautiful as complete visual stories, as well as each individual image working beautifully on its own. Take a look, i'm sure you'll really enjoy browsing through this blog.........
