The Uva Wellness Spa encompasses a sense of wellbeing, movement, and nature, addressing the
mind, body, and spirit. The design of UVA utilises the grape plant by pulling inspiration from the
natural organic shape of the vine and the colours of the grapes. The organic structure influenced the
design by incorporating curves throughout each space and dedicating one colour of the grape to each
floor. The grape is believed to be nature’s antioxidant. A therapy process known as vino therapy
makes use of the benefits from the grape and vine extracts where the residue of winemaking is
rubbed into the skin. The pulp is comprised of exfoliating qualities and can help diminish the issues
related to ageing as it improves blood movement, rejuvenates the skin, and decreases the
appearance of wrinkles. This process is utilised in the design throughout massage treatments, hot
tubs, saunas, and lounge areas. The curvilinear flowing spaces give a sense of enclosure, relaxation,
and protection from external influences. These spaces talk to the senses, supporting the recharging
and balancing of the individual.
