Spa Project

Early last year I took my first rapid visualization class, I learned to hand render perspectives and although it was challenging, I had a lot of fun doing it. This is the final project from that class. We were instructed to design a spa. The first board is the concept and materials presentation and the second includes hand renderings.

After some research I found that there are not many maternity spas available. I know being pregnant isn't always a pleasant experience and I personally believe a woman deserves to be pampered, particularly when she is carrying a new life. Additionally, maternity massage is a special process it requires a special massage bed but also a masseuse who knows what they are doing. It is said that the webbing in between the hands and feet is not to be massaged when a woman is pregnant because it could cause early labor or braxton hicks contractions (false labor).

These are my hand renderings of the waiting area and reception desk (a little rough but I've gotten much better).


P.S. My spa is named La Perla [not after the lingerie company] because it means The Pearl in spanish, to me the pearl in an oyster represents a womb. I hope my concept is clear, I don't want problems with copyright infringement :)
