With its headquarters in Glasgow, over the last five years the company has opened offices in Hong Kong and Dubai to serve its clients in those regions, such as Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Jumeirah Messilah Beach Hotel and Spa in Kuwait. Barr + Wray Hong Kong’s managing director Derek Barton reveals how the W Singapore hotel’s AWAY Spa, on Sentosa Island, recently called on the company’s water engineering expertise.

What was your project brief for AWAY Spa? “The layout and equipment defined within the spa had been fully developed by AW Lake Spa Concepts, who delivered the brief for the client. We received a copy of the equipment specification, a plan drawing and a series of 3D renderings for bespoke equipment which we were required to design before we were able to offer our services.”

What did you supply to enhance the spa journey? “We supplied and installed separate male and female vitality pools, herbal pool bubblers, infra-red cabins, steamrooms, rain pods, experience showers and cold mist showers. We also installed the UV treatment plants for the vitality pools and herbal pool bubblers. Each feature compliments the last and is designed to work together to rejuvenate the body.”
What makes AWAY Spa unique? “The compact wet area manages to squeeze in many features that provide the guests with a series of different experiences. The vitality pools have specifically-designed water and air experiences including bubble massage. The smaller pools incorporate mineral-dosing systems infused with micro bubbles to soothe the body. “We also designed and constructed unique rain pod showers with multi-function showering and lighting on a purpose-built, lit, wet massage table. The unique, colourful design of these pods provides a stimulating atmosphere and they were designed to work well with the spa’s menu of revitalising treatments.”
