Betty’s Bath & Day Spa
Project Description: Addition of Treatment Rooms and Yoga Studio to existing Day Spa in Albuquerque’s North ValleyImprovements to public areas include: new massage therapy and facial rooms, new central relaxation room and new yoga studio. Improvements to back-of-house include: full mechanical and electrical upgrades, new offices and staff areas, and enhanced acoustical treatments throughout.
Bringing nature into the spa experience is central to Betty’s approach. This was accomplished with a central relaxation room which was conceived as an interior courtyard. Natural light streams into the space through thoughtfully located skylights. Each treatment room receives the light through above-the-door transom windows. The light also highlights and provides life to a natural bamboo garden, that in turn provides a certain tranquility to the interior court/ relaxation room. This project was a collaboration with Chris Beccone.
