DESIGN NAME: Aevum Spa
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Spa
INSPIRATION: AEVUM Spa is located in the east of Shenzhen, as the first professional spa brand in China established for improving "physical and mental beauty", AEVUM is devoted to recovering and healing both people's body and mind. The vision of AEVUM fits well into Tony Kim's concept which advocates the integration of space and emotion, so the two parties joined hands and a fantastic space where customers can gain both aesthetic experience and emotional satisfaction was created.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The facade of the store is clad with wooden veneers, which extend into the service counter and the entryway. A glass wall functions as the partition that separates the inside and outside spaces. But these spaces are interconnected visually. The gateway is paved with curved natural stones, with white gravel filling the gaps.
As the junction of interior circulations, the annular entryway leads to different functional areas including spa rooms, consulting rooms and lounge, etc.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: From furniture, fittings to accessories, are all customized, with exquisite shapes and textures. The painting on the wall depicting flowing seawater, echoes with the wave-pattern carpet and blue gradient screen, adding artistic charm to the space. Large French window faces to the terrace where customers can enjoy natural daylight and boundless seascape. Rattan screens and greenery separate the overall terrace into several parts which set off each other, ensuring vast views and privacy as well.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: With love and care, AEVUM Spa hopes to awaken customers to their inside and outside beauty as well as self-recognition. Based on that, Tony Kim integrated emotional experience into the spatial design, and realized a combination of visual entertainment and emotional relaxation, which will illuminate other projects of the same kind in the future.
CHALLENGE: Large French window is used for areas face to the terrace, so customers can enjoy natural daylight and boundless seascape, rendering the austere space more dynamic and expansive, and refreshing the body and soul. How to ensure vast views and privacy becomes a challenge. The designer uses rattan screens and greenery to separate the overall terrace into several parts which set off each other, ensuring vast views and privacy as well.
