It was great to talk to the The Caterer about Health & wellness design trends for 2021.
‘Good Design will be absolutely key in the creation of destination spas that are unique, have heart and soul, and capitalise on the best aspects of their location in linking to a beautiful landscape or view. Many of the trends in spa design this year relate to our collective desire to connect with nature."

Well considered & well
designed circulation areas are key in the creation of a beautiful spa journey & sense of anticipation for the guest!
It was wonderful to revisit our project Cottonmill Spa at Sopwell House yesterday to oversee the installation of new planting over the staircase that links the three levels of experiences (in readiness for reopening at some point soon!)
We designed the staircase with glass risers to allow light to permeate through from the roof lantern above, lined the walls with overlapping planes of limestone, introduced air planting & ferns & included reflective pool at the base and organic lighting sculpture above.
Glazed screens provide views on each level to the spa relaxation areas, and the Spa garden beyond, all of which taps into the benefits of a Bipophilia. (meaning love of nature)
Biophilia focuses on human’s innate attraction to nature which has been proven to provide huge benefits to health and general sense of well-being... just what is needed in a spa !

So grateful to have managed to buy our Sparcstudio studio in Richmond, in February a couple of years back.
Whilst we are Mostly working remotely currently I was reminded as to how lovely it is on a recent visit to gather samples . It has windows around all sides so has great light & also some beautiful sunsets over the Thames.

About this time of year I can’t resist daffodils & the promise of spring that they bring- they are also a very cheerful addition to my ‘work from home’ desk !
I have always been a big fan of Yellow in fashion & interiors, see ‘photo opportunity’ of moi taken in El Jadida , lovely Hotel Interiors spied in Majorca , and still one of our favourite projects Dormy House Spa (designed by Sparcstudio) which features spring yellow & green accents throughout.
So naturally I totally concur with ‘Global color authority’ Pantone who have announced their selection for Color of the Year 2021 and it's a combination of two Sunshine yellow & Rock Grey ! As they say “This clever combination of colors brings the message of strength and reliability paired with the joy of sunshine filled days to come”
...& maybe also something to do with our collective desire to connect with nature during lockdown. 🥰

Some daffodils to lift a gloomy day outside, together with a few drops of Aesop Anouk oil blend added to the trusty Muji Diffuser, surrounded by lots of plants (& Mr Stay- puft’😍)- all help to lift the spirits!

Happy Christmas Friends & Clients!
At this festive time of year we always take great pleasure in sending you some Sparcstudio seasonal ‘cheer’.
However as 2020 continues to challenge us all, this year we have decided instead to make a donation to the charity Centrepoint www.centrepoint.org.uk.
Centrepoint do great work by helping provide homeless young people with accommodation, health support and life skills in order to get them back into education, training and employment.
Wishing you, your colleagues and families our very best wishes for a happy and peaceful Christmas.
We are looking forward to making 2021 an even more creative, productive and healthy one!
Congratulations to all of our Spa clients who are now able to reopen !!
With the winter weather now setting in. the Thermal Suite is the place to be. We love designing heat cabins - the more bespoke the better ! They are little micro climates to relax in, with huge therapeutic benefits (salt steam rooms are particularly good for clearing the airways) Cabins featured here include Salt steam & Organic Sauna @mottramhallcheshire Champneys Spa & Aroma steam and Panoramic Sauna @southlodge_spa

Beverley Bayes says ‘’We at Sparcstudio are extremely proud of the completed Cottonmill spa. It was a joy as designers to have a budget (all thanks to the Bejeranos) that enabled us to create so many bespoke designed elements; it is this that helps create the spa’s unique character and style which we describe as ‘refined nature.’Our aim was to create a spa that is truly luxurious and sumptuous whilst at the same time informal and fun’’
