This project was conceived to achieve a personal wellness retreat for the client while simultaneously offering an elegant space for entertaining guests. It embodies the concept of a contemporary biomimetic spa retreat, blending nature's serenity with modern design. From cave-inspired elements to serene bedrooms, the project offers a sanctuary that combines relaxation with style, reflecting the importance of well-being in today's world.
As you step into this retreat, your senses are immediately captivated by the dramatic double-height that contrasts with the great room's entrance parametric ceiling, which draws inspiration from the fluidity of water, and transmits the idea of entering a cave-like environment. Organic-inspired seating, including a chaise adorned in plush sheep wool, further enhance the naturalistic theme. Reflecting the owner’s passion for books there is an entire wall dedicated for a custom bookshelf with backlit illumination that gives a cozy indirect light resembling a window at sunset.
In the dining room, inspiration from cenote caves is evident in the natural rough stone wall, complemented by opulent elements like a marble-top table and a golden metallic lacquer wine cellar. Forest green velvet dining chairs mimic nature's lush foliage, inviting diners to immerse themselves in a cave-inspired environment enriched by sophistication.
The family room offers a cozy retreat with a white bouclé sofa and a bright red lounge chair injecting contemporary flair. A root coffee table adds organic charm, while a large green wall blurs boundaries between indoors and outdoors. A custom media unit with a large sliding door accommodates a 150” projection screen and at the same time does not compromise any windows.
The bedroom, adorned in soothing sand colors, features a bold dark green velvet bed as its focal point. The headboard wall combines rugged stone with angular wood panels, softly illuminated to create a relaxing ambiance.
