The initial phase of transforming the Wellness Space involved conceptualization and establishing the design foundation. The design team aimed to create a philosophy of wellbeing and consciousness that would guide the entire transformation. The space was envisioned as a journey of self-discovery, translating this narrative into an architectural language for the Minos Palace building. This phase involved considerations for the floor plan and creating a metaphorical journey from external to internal, symbolizing self-reflection and transformation. Inspired by the ‘Earth Crack’ as a symbol of new life and healing, a design tool broke the existing grid and introduced nature’s aesthetics. Simultaneously, an earthy color palette guided visitors through a sensory journey, representing a progression from exploration to serenity.
