Every girl loves the idea of a Beauty Emporium, right? Well, I just know that you are going to love this project by Singapore based design firm, Formwerkz. The brief was to design a space for the client, Spa Espirit Group, that became the worlds first one stop shop for beauty and nutritional needs. A place where you can pick up a massage, fascial, manicure, Brazillian wax or brow du jour, a book, a shooter and the latest album release from Nouvelle Vague.
Formwerkz have used the strategy 'Reduce - Recycle - Reuse' as they transformed the existing spa premise with minimal wastage and cost.
As you can see from these amazing images, it's not surprising that the Beauty Emporium received an honourable mention at the 10th 2010 Singapore Institute Architectural Awards.
Now a little bit about the philosophy behind Formwerkz:
We have no interest for architecture that is preoccupied with it's obsessive pursuit of minimal refinement as an end.
Rather, we want our efforts to be directed towards the recovery of mutual human relationships, and the restoration of primordial relationships between man and nature.
We are keen to design happenings or more precisely, conditions that can espouse more active engagement from man with his environment.
