LEVEL 0 - Banyan Tree Spa

The areas on this floor are the Hall and Reception, Restaurant & Spa’s Gallery, Administrative Areas, Support Areas, Men and woman changing rooms

and Leisure Pool.

The lobby and reception are presented in a large open space with a view framed by a contemporary interpretation, with colors inspired by nature and

oriental influences.

The reception is in a commanding position, controlling all entrances and exit. It stands out visually as piece composed by panels of Sucupira wood, where

the contours are accented by indirect lighting.

The design of the wooden molded ceiling flanked by light strengthens the axial space and ends on the wood panel also, at the back of the countertop.

The cascading water plan, incorporating the theme of water and its reflections in the interior spaces, is an important contribution to the desired relaxed

atmosphere.

The entrance area connecting simultaneously to the restaurant and gallery space of the SPA. These spaces receive natural light from the large window

and the covers of MDF cut to an identified pattern of the SPA, figure like an important decorative element. This pattern also applies in several wood works,

creating a counterpoint to the window glasses.

materials to define and delineate various spaces and routes.

and Patina Black listas. The walls feature Newstone Marfil and Patina Black.

In the thermal swimming pool the coverings on the floors and walls are intended to give the look and feel of natural textures of stone, but using materi-

als suitable for the aggressive environment of thermal waters. On the walls mosaic tiles chosen, with the optimum characteristics of water-repellent,

INTERVIEW

What were the main influences that affected your formation training and your jobs?

However, the architecture of simple lines and fluidity, match-es between opaque and transparent materials, light and shadow volumes and empty spaces, are characteristics that we try to explore in our projects.”

Characteristics of your projects. Author Mark

NP “The projects are the result of the team design work, however, it is clear the personal criteria of the project leader. The constant search for adequate solutions combined with personal taste ends up imposing an author Mark.”

20CONTRACT

What were the main motivations for choosing Apavisa porcelain material for this project?

NP: “In The Termas de Estoril I wanted a material resistant to aggressive nature of the thermal water while presenting the appearance of stone, with some texture and natural colors. Patina Series, namely the mosaic Patina Black, complain all requirements and was used in the main halls and treatment rooms, in front of the mosaic neutral color of the series Newstone Marfil.

In the sludge treatment rooms we based our choice on the Iron colors of the Metal Series Collection, for a contrasting effect.

At Banyan Tree Spa we have chosen Pulpis Collection, using the Vison, the vison Tasselato Lappato and Marfil to obtain the desired variety of textures in brown and cream shades.In the area of the spa pool we used Limestone Gris Lappato, because of quality and stone look.”

You used Apavisa material in other projects? Can you name a job?
