WCI, Inc. Designs Bonneville Spa Renovation
JANUARY 23, 2009 - WCI, Inc., based in Portland, Oregon, was the design firm for the spa renovation at the upscale Bonneville Hot Springs Resort & Spa in North Bonneville, Washington.
Space planning was a key challenge in this project, which was completed in August, 2008, in that many items needed to fit in relatively small rooms, and yet create a sense of calming luxuriousness without the feeling of overcrowding.
Features of the 2500 square foot spa addition include:
o A large manicure/pedicure room with custom pedicure thrones, manicure stations, a fireplace, and sitting area.
o 2 full service treatment rooms with lounge seating, showers, and a fireplace.
o 2 couple's treatment rooms with 2 massage tables (allowing guests to receive tandem treatments), lounge seating, jetted soaking tubs, showers, and a fireplace.
o Plynyl runners for the corridors that can be sprayed down for easy cleaning.
'Each window in the spa looks out to gorgeous mountain views, so we used the natural surroundings as art,' said Larissa Burden, lead designer on the project. 'In the public areas, a simple valance was used with no drapery treatments in order to accentuate the view.'
The interior design complements the outdoor surroundings. Dramatic drapery and lighting treatments were used to create private, pedicure 'thrones' that enhance the guest's luxurious experience, and to provide a unique spa environment. Warm neutrals in the flooring, walls, and fabrics set the tone for a relaxing experience. The design relationship between the neutral, calming elements and the dramatic, plush details work together to create a unique environment.
WCI handled the Design, Purchasing and Installation for the entire project. 'Our staff of designers, purchasers and installers collaborated to take the client's vision and create exactly what he asked for,' according to Jennifer Hatfield, owner and founder of WCI. 'Being able to control the process from start to finish, WCI finished the project on time and on budget.'
