Descend Into This Earthy Spa In The Heart Of The Mediterranean\u00a0<\/h1>\n\n\n

Sunshine and subterranean settings may seem incongruent. But unifying contrasts is rote for Makhno Studio<\/a>. The Ukrainian studio\u2019s latest endeavor, Vroda Clinic & Spa, in Limassol, Cyprus, continues the firm\u2019s boundary-pushing MO. \u201cThe challenge was to create a space that doesn\u2019t resemble a medical facility,\u201d explains founder and architect Serhii Makhno, who conceived a soft yet brutalist scheme for the 14,700-square-foot project, with clinical cosmetology rooms on the first floor and the spa zone below. The latter offers a dozen water-based experiences\u2014freestanding bathing capsules, voice-activated rain showers, plunge pools, snow chimneys (for cold treatments post sauna or steam room)\u2014housed in annular coves. In the VIP area, Makhno\u2019s cloudlike ceramic pendant fixtures, 3-D printed walls in an earthy clay, and plumes of pampas grass, arranged in the Japanese ikebana<\/em> style, soothe and calm. Throughout, recessed LEDs and radiant salt blocks gently brighten, while staggered plaster columns and communal marble seating recall ancient Roman bathhouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
