Spiritual Spa is a spa building designed for a one acre site in Sedona, United States. The architecture follows the terrain and seeks a balance with the surrounding landscape. Locally sourced and environmentally friendly materials, including recycled wood and glass, are used to support sustainability. Solar cells are placed to capture optimum sunlight and generate energy. The spaces are arranged for meditation, yoga and relaxation. The intent is to offer visitors a calm retreat from busy daily life and a setting for rest and personal balance.
