Summit Spas - DINZ Best Awards Finalist 2024
This is my final third year design major project. My design is for a Spa facility on Queenstowns, Coronet Peak. It is nestled into the side of the mountain right beside the top chairlift on the ski field with the peak directly above. The aim for this design was to create a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life - addressing the fact that our modern world has become so busy and over stimulating and is causing more people to have mental health issues. This design proposal is all about creating a moment of pause and respite from everyday life - stripping it back to the pure basics, creating an experience that improves the wellness of the users. This design was a finalist in the Design Institute of New Zealand BEST Design Awards in the Student Spatial category in 2024.
