Our Expertise Helps You Craft the Perfect Hydrothermal Journey
Not sure what features to include? We have comprehensive knowledge about the popular cabins and experiences, insuring you integrate just the right combination of hot therapies, cold immersion experiences and rest and recovery spaces into your project.
Our Design Expertise
For successful hydrothermal design, it is essential to adhere to the established design principle: form follows function. As a highly specialized company, we have a deep understanding of how to blend design aesthetics with the engineering requirements necessary for incorporating hydrothermal experiences. Working closely with the client, we will develop the project through drawings, renderings, and supporting documentation to ensure a smooth transition when preparing a project for operation.
Our Design Process
Working in collaboration with the client, projects are developed through drawings, renderings and supporting documentation to enable a seamless transition when bringing a project to the point of operational readiness.
CONCEPT
DESIGN
We work with client's design team to refine existing plans to ensure first-class thermal experiences are created. All building and equipment requirements are considered, including recommendations for suitable and durable finishes. DFL can also consult on ways to maximize spa revenue and ROI.
SCHEMATIC
DESIGN
We create technical project drawings that ensure everything fits into the space. At this stage, we also provide a schedule of building and equipment costs to assist the client in finalizing the overall project budget. CGI renderings are created to allow the client to visualize the finished space.
DETAILED
DESIGN
Refining the Schematic Design, we prepare detailed floor plans and sectional elevations, provide details for all MEP connection points at feature locations and incorporate supporting documentation for performance specifications. Detailed AutoCad and Revit drawings, including the often overlooked mechanical spaces, are also provided.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION
We confirm all performance specifications and equipment requirements for the thermal spa facilities designed in the Detailed Design phase, including providing construction quality drawings and technical specifications for all facilities and equipment within the project scope.
