“Wyboston Lakes provided us with a great opportunity to bring the natural environment into the spa. The contemporary design includes a fun use of materials and graphics which helps communicate a natural environment. The site itself is quite an eclectic mix of buildings so we wanted to create a unique retreat within the complex, while still connecting to the outside space. To achieve this, materials and finishes were selected to help reflect Wyboston. For example, the lockers are disguised by large images of the lakes throughout the four seasons of the year and full scale graphics of reeds and grasses have been etched on to glass screens.”

such as the manicure and pedicure lounge; the thermal area; and the sleep zone, which features three different spaces to facilitate varying levels of relaxation. “With Y Spa, we developed a design that has
operational flexibility,” says Blissett. “It is able to cater to specific markets as well as targeting a mass audience, providing a five-star feel minus the price tag.” The designer cites the spa’s “exceptional thermal
experience” as something that would not usually be associated with this type of facility, but which was achieved within a constrained budget.
Individual design Throughout the spa, quirky touches create a sense of fun; bouquets of flowers are left outside treatment rooms to signify they are occupied; and the different areas have names such as ‘Mud Glorious Mud’ for the rasul chamber, ‘Some Like It Hot’ for the sauna and ‘The Big Sleep’ for the relaxation space.
