Skin Health Spa

Skin Health Spa: A City Central location for relaxation. Skin Health Spa's flagship clinic in Manchester stands as a testament to the power of collaboration between client, designer, and contractor. Commissioned to fit out an existing former retail unit in one of the most central locations of Manchester. The project aimed to create a space that not only met functional requirements but also embodied the client's clear identity and ethos, of luxurious and relaxation

Design Approach: Crafting a Cohesive Identity
Located at 7 St James's Square in the heart of Manchester's Financial District, the 1,400 sq ft clinic offers advanced skincare and non-invasive laser treatments. The design approach focused on integrating the client's established brand elements with a thoughtful spatial layout, ensuring each treatment room was both functional and reflective of the brand's ethos.

Material Strategy: Functional Elegance
The material palette was selected to balance aesthetics with functionality. High-quality finishes were chosen to withstand the demands of a clinical environment while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere. The design incorporated elements that highlighted the client's commitment to quality and attention to detail, ensuring the space was both practical and visually appealing.

Outcome: A Space That Reflects Identity
The completed clinic exemplifies what can be achieved when every party is actively engaged in both creative and technical decision-making. It is a space that not only meets the functional needs of a modern skincare facility but also reflects the depth of collaboration that drove it from start to finish.

" This project was particularly rewarding with the clarity of the brand vision and the collaborative spirit behind it. From the outset, there was a shared commitment to quality from material choices to lighting, spatial flow and signage. That clarity helped us move quickly without compromising on detail. The result is a calm, confident space that not only functions beautifully but also communicate the client’s ethos with elegance. It was a privilege to contribute to something so thoughtfully conceived and so well received. "
