This week’s concept boards explore three takes on men’s and women’s locker rooms for a boutique spa — spaces where function meets calm and every detail is designed to feel intentional. Each one takes a different approach to material, color, and light while keeping the focus on comfort and ease.

Concept 1: Simple Comfort

Our first concept is an inviting take on the spa experience. Both locker rooms feature comfortable seating, warm lighting, and thoughtfully integrated storage for towels and personal items. Finishes are clean and understated — soft neutrals, light woods, and subtle texture — creating an approachable sense of calm. In the women’s space, a dedicated vanity area adds a touch of luxury and practicality, offering a well-lit spot to refresh and unwind.

Concept 2: Color & Curve

This direction is more playful and graphic. Rich pops of blue, green, and red are layered over warm wood finishes to create an energetic, modern palette that still feels spa-appropriate. Millwork is a key move here: custom cabinetry and built-ins echo the project’s geometric motifs and give both rooms a strong, curated personality. The women’s locker room includes a dedicated vanity inset into the millwork, carefully lit for use and display. Concealed storage, integrated seating, and purposeful circulation keep the spaces efficient while the color and pattern choices bring brightness and a sense of joy.

Concept 3: Refined Restraint

This direction echoes the clean lines and pared-down color scheme of our first concept but adds a few key twists: terrazzo flooring, alcove lighting, and stone surfaces that introduce subtle pattern and depth. The result feels elevated and quietly architectural, maintaining a minimalist sensibility while incorporating materials that add visual interest and texture.

Across all three, the focus remains on thoughtful materiality, layered lighting, and spaces that invite a slower pace. Whether warm and tactile, colorful and sculptural, or sleek and composed, each approach shows how even utilitarian areas can feel intentional and restorative.
