Richard Bell Architecture designed a spa and wellness space for a private house, portrayed by architectural photographer Hélène Binet. The intervention is an extension to a property in central London, which had to be done using the underground space of the house, keeping the garden untouched.

 

The volume incorporates pools, a sauna, a steam room, a gym, showers and changing rooms. The grey of the bricks is complemented by the visual warmth of an open boarded cherry wood ceiling that conceals a multitude of services and the substantial structure that holds up the gardens above in one uninterrupted span. A huge volume is illuminated, emphasizing the contrast between the rough bricks and the glass-like blackness of the pools.
