A spa at home is the ultimate luxury: a sauna under the roof, a hammam in the cellar, a pool in the garden. We design and build wellness areas with the technology of a hotel spa and the intimacy of home.
Wellness demands structural precision. Moisture, heat and chlorine place demands on waterproofing, ventilation and materials that do not occur in an ordinary renovation. Our team designs the climate installation, the vapour barriers and the drains before the first tile is laid, so the space lasts for decades.
We design the experience as a sequence: changing, showering, sweating, cooling, resting. A sauna in cedar or aspen, a hammam in tadelakt with a heated bench, a cold plunge or ice shower and a relaxation room with daylight and soft lighting. An indoor pool receives silent air handling and a floor that is not slippery when wet.

Renovating a wellness area in Groningen
In Groningen we mainly work in listed buildings, townhouses, villas and 1930s houses, in neighbourhoods such as Binnenstad, Schildersbuurt, Helpman, Haren and Oranjebuurt. Each typology places its own demands on a wellness area: height, daylight, pipework, structure and sometimes heritage rules. Our architects know the local frameworks and design within them without compromising the end result.
The atelier is located in The Hague, 150 min from Groningen. A project director is on site daily, and after handover that same person remains your permanent contact for maintenance, warranty and new wishes.

01
Academic calendar
In university towns we plan renovations around sabbaticals, academic years and international relocations, with English-language communication where desired.
02
Listed buildings and protected townscapes
Many properties fall under heritage protection or a protected townscape. Our architects take care of the permit, consultation with heritage committees and the restoration of historic detailing, combined with modern installations.
03
Historic city centre
Car-free centres and narrow streets require construction logistics to the hour: delivery windows, container placement and exemptions are planned in advance so the schedule holds.
Hotel inspiration
The best hotel spas are dark, warm and quiet, with water as the only sound. We build that atmosphere in your cellar, outbuilding or garden.
Materials
- Cedar, aspen and thermally modified wood
- Tadelakt and microcement
- Natural stone and glass mosaic
- Waterproof insulation systems
- Stainless steel and bronze
