Designing a complete wellness retreat
Loft conversion creates room for relaxation, bodycare and exercise
Pampering yourself with water treatments, exercising in private and relaxing
in style - what better way could there be to lift your mood after a stressful
day? With a bit of judicious planning, a whirl tub, sauna, shower, exercise
area and the bedroom can be accommodated in direct vicinity to one another
on a single floor, thereby creating a coherent wellness zone. GROHE
demonstrates how it can be done.
An entire floor of the house dedicated to body culture
This private oasis of wellbeing fills out the second floor with its two sloped
walls. Individual areas of different heights and depths have been created to
break up the length of the room even though a consistent appearance has
been ensured by using the same materials throughout. While the wellness
treatments have largely been arranged on the left-hand side of the room, the
right-hand side houses the exercise equipment comprised of a sophisticated
multifunctional unit with stylish leather trim, a spinning bike and a treadmill.
The WC sitting below one of the sloped walls is separated from the rest of
the room by a partition.
The spa area is directly accessible both from the staircase and the master
bedroom. This flowing transition between the living and wellness areas is
underlined by a butterfly-themed wall mosaic and a rug from the Armani
collection. The monochrome colour scheme combining a range of beige and
warm grey tones creates a calm and relaxed atmosphere and promotes a
1
sense of natural elegance throughout this private retreat. The rustic charm or
the half-timbered walls has been juxtaposed by modern materials as well as
a number of objects expressing a clear design vocabulary.
Caring and pampering
In addition to a small sauna offering a view of the loggia through a glass wall
and a whirl tub facing the wall mosaic, the spa area also features a spacious
shower cubicle for two. GROHE Allure thermostat mixers protect against
scalding and keep the temperature of the shower water precisely at the level
set by the user. Sena hand showers, GROHE Rainshower® F-Series ceiling
showers and an Allure waterfall spout combine to produce personalised
shower experiences to suit your mood of the moment. The minimalist design
of the Allure faucets is echoed by the three-hole tub mixer and the singlelever mixers sitting on the basins lining the long wall. The extensive range of
products available from GROHE means that each faucet can be chosen to
meet precisely defined standards in terms of comfort, size and functionality from extra-compact spouts for small lavatories to tall spouts for free-standing
basins. The Allure glass holders are a perfect match for the faucets installed
throughout the private spa.
Another WC accessible from the staircase is also fitted with a basin made of
the same natural rock as the ones in the spa area. The colour scheme
chosen for this WC, a blend of red and pink hues from the Bisazza series,
deliberately contrasts with the decor of the rest of the spa.
An entire floor dedicated to a private spa where no wish in terms of
cleansing, relaxation and revitalisation remains unfulfilled.
