Project Aulani Design Walt Disney Imagineering Location Ko Olina, Hawaii
Hawaiian design for Disney
Disney has opened its first beach resort, which includes an 18,000sq ft (1,672sq m) spa on the lush, moun- tainous island of Ko Olina in Hawaii. Walt Disney Imagineering worked closely with local Hawaiian cultural advisors during the design, and the resort now displays one of the world’s largest private collections of contem- porary Hawaiian art. There are 359 rooms and 481 villas – most with sea and mountain views – a seven-acre waterplay area, two res- taurants, a snorkel lagoon and access to a championship golf course and 330-slip marina.
Water is central to the spa’s design, from rain showers to hydrotherapy garden
Disney’s Laniwai spa is designed to cater for families, and teenagers even get their own spa, called Painted Sky.

Project Timber Wave Design Amanda Levete Architects Location Victoria & Albert Museum, London
V&A exhibits latest design wave
The Cromwell Road entrance to the V&A Museum took on a new dimension during the London Design Festival with the erection of architect Amanda Levete’s striking Timber Wave. The practice used lamination techniques more usually used in furniture-making to create a swirling wood structure that stands three-storeys high. The structure is designed to reflect the multi-layered and ornamental appearance of the grand entrance, and is both three-dimensional and asym- metric in form.
