Client Work - Janessa Westwood Neil
Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great start to your weekend. Today I will be sharing the first set of photos of a custom build & interior design project that we have completed for our longtime friend and repeat client, Janessa. For this project, Janessa requested that we design and build, from the ground up, the spa located within her brand new Singaporean themed resort. Over the last couple of years, we’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Janessa to design her personal homes, corporate office spaces & resorts. This has given both Rooky & I, as well as Janessa, a keen sense of each other's aesthetics, as well as a solid understanding of how each other’s brains work, when it comes to completing a project. As a result of this, Janessa has placed her trust in us to execute her vision seamlessly, while delivering a product that is visually appealing to her guests, while also being functionally available for their use. The end result is a structure and spaces, which we have designed and built from scratch, that is completely unique to the resort.
In an effort to not discuss and show off too much of the resort, so all future guests have a surprise factor when visiting for their first time, I will only be highlighting a small number of details in the body of each post, as well as showcasing a small and select set of photos of this project over the next couple of weeks or so.
In the first photo, you are getting a peak into the shower area of the spa. To offset the black metal window frames, black concrete ceiling & other black architectural elements throughout, we created all interior walls and door frames in a beautiful oak, which has just a dash of warmth too it, helping alleviate the coldness that a space like this can have. For the privacy of the spa guests, we added shutters to the exterior windows. We customized the shutters by cladding them in the same wood used in the interiors of the spa, helping add another element of warmth into the space. For the flooring, none of you will be surprised to see that we created a custom mesh floor, which has become somewhat standard at TDF. The flooring is made up of an oak border, grey marble trim inlay, and a multi toned marble tile in a hexagonal shape. For the shower stalls, the walls and flooring are also custom, created with a black marble border, grey marble trim inlay, and a multi toned marble tile in a hexagonal shape.
In the second photo, you are getting a view into the change room area of the spa. Similar to the design language in the first photo, we’ve stuck with oak walls and trim to add warmth to the space, while continuing with the same style of mesh flooring.
As I say in all of my posts, thank you all for the continued support that is shown to our small team here at The Design Firm. It means an absolute ton to us <3
Lastly, I always recommend viewing my photos in full screen mode when able! This allows you to see the true depth and detail of the spaces that my colleagues and I create for our clients.
