Situated in the Roosevelt Macau ground floor, SOUL spa has been meticulously crafted to offer a transformative experience, fusing the tranquility of nature with the energetic pulse of the surrounding cityscape. Drawing inspiration from Koolhaas' avant-garde architectural style, the spa's design aims to provoke a dialogue between the built environment and the natural world.
Upon entering SOUL, guests are enveloped in a carefully curated atmosphere that blurs the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. Koolhaas' signature design elements, characterized by bold geometries and unexpected juxtapositions, create a dynamic spatial experience. The interior spaces feature a harmonious blend of organic materials, evoking a sense of calm and grounding amidst the urban chaos.
The spa's layout has been meticulously orchestrated to encourage exploration and discovery. Guests are invited to follow a series of meandering pathways, reminiscent of forest trails, leading them to various treatment rooms and relaxation areas. These pathways may incorporate elements of surprise, such as sudden openings to reveal lush greenery or unexpected vistas, stimulating a sense of wonder and anticipation.
