Materials and Finishes

Posted by msaet02 on Tuesday, September 22, 2015.

   All of the materials and finishes I plan to use in the design of my holistic spa will include sustainable products.  One of the manufacturers I am using is Trinity Furniture.  Our class visited their warehouse and toured the facilities.  We saw the process that they use in receiving lumber and making their furniture pieces.  We also learned a great deal about the organization.  All of the wood that Trinity uses in making their furniture comes from 100% FSC certified lumber.
It's important to not just pick a piece of furniture because it is beautiful in the interior.  The furniture needs to be beautiful to look at and beautiful for the environment.


The Sustainable Forestry Initiative is one organization that practices responsibility in environmental design.  I'm trying to incorporate all FF&E from companies that practice sustainability in some form or fashion.  Whether it's within the residence or the spa itself, the materials, fabrics, or accessories, Rocky Springs Medical Spa will be an overall holistic design experience.

Some of the finishes I'm considering are:
 
 
 
To bring the outdoors in, I will include some rocks in the landscaping by the pool and possibly on a feature wall!
 
 

Purple is a part of my color scheme, so these would make great yoga mats!






 
Barrier-free flooring throughout in a gray tone to incorporate my color scheme!
