Sims Avenue

Converted from a residential unit above a ground floor shop and salon at Sims Avenue, this spa celebrates its former life as a home. The cosy ambience is injected with elements of Peranakan craft and design, and plays with the typical aesthetics of contact points: such as the console table that is actually a reception counter. The design was developed to be minimally disruptive to construct, instead taking advantage of the existing compartmentalisation. The spaces were styled as modern interpretations of the richly detailed interiors of the past. The result is a very homely feel, with treatment rooms that are simply relaxing, bathrooms that are just eccentric enough, and a reception space that feels like the sitting room of a favourite aunt.
