A book ALSO for architects in SPA design

This beautiful book is written by an architect. This is important when looking for more than just nice SPA photos. Not only she (the writer) very carefully chooses modern SPA environments, she also presents them in a whole-space manner, attaching simple but effective professional drawings. Besides, she verbally offers a brief, deeper look in the transition of city-SPAs: from indifferent beauty and relax centers to the focus of modern Architecture. This professional background does not however deprive the book of a rather introductory character, combining modern Architecture with simple description. As a member of a now in-design city-SPA in South-East Europe, I and the designing architect found in the book precious modern inspirations. The writer (she lives in New York) provided a modern work going enough beyond the surface, and counting among the few really helpful on the subject.

amazing pictures and blueprints

I'm in the process of building a second location (salonspa) and this book had the most amazing pictures and the visual of the blueprints gave me such a different perspective of things that I had not even thought about. I love this book it was well worth the price.
