Services · Solstice by Solaris

Services & packages for wellness designed into the space — not bolted on.

From the first strategy to the finished space and the events that keep it alive, we work across six areas. Most projects draw on a few of them at once — and every one begins with the people who'll use the space.

Six ways we shape a wellness space

Most projects draw on a few at once

The layout, thresholds and circulation that decide how a space feels before anyone books a treatment. Architect-led design for spas and wellness floors — from first concept to fabrication-ready drawings.

What's included
  • Concept & spatial strategy
  • Spa & wellness-floor layout
  • Threshold, circulation & guest-journey design
  • Material & lighting direction
  • Technical & fabrication drawings

The invisible layer that actually lets a body settle. We compose the atmosphere of a space as a single instrument — tuned to the feeling a guest should carry out with them. That includes acoustic zoning: deciding how a room sounds, and where sound is allowed to travel, so a treatment room is not doing its work next to a plant riser.

What's included
  • Acoustic zoning & sound design
  • Lighting & circadian design
  • Scent schemes & olfactory identity
  • Material & tactile palettes
  • Mood and atmosphere direction

Wellness as a brand experience — pop-up spas, ritual installations and sensory moments that give a launch a reason to be felt, not just seen. Concept through to on-site delivery.

What's included
  • Wellness activation concepts
  • Pop-up spas & ritual installations
  • Brand partnerships & sponsorships
  • Experience design for launches and events

Before a wall moves, the strategy: what wellness should mean for this venue specifically, what to offer, and how it earns its place commercially. A clear position and a plan you can act on.

What's included
  • Wellness positioning & concept
  • Offer & programming strategy
  • Revenue and commercial modelling
  • Operator & partner sourcing

A space is only as alive as what happens inside it. We programme the retreats, residencies, classes and signature events that give guests a reason to return — and produce them on a rolling basis.

What's included
  • Retreat & residency programmes
  • Class, session & ritual design
  • Practitioner & expert sourcing
  • Seasonal and signature events

The end-to-end delivery that turns drawings into a running space. We manage fabrication, suppliers, logistics and install, and stay on site until it opens.

What's included
  • End-to-end production management
  • Fabrication & build
  • Suppliers, logistics & install
  • On-site delivery

Four ways in, depending on where you are

Most start with The Reading

The Reading

A fixed-fee starting point.

For venues deciding what wellness should be for them.

A focused study of your space, your guests, and the opportunity — delivered as a clear concept and a roadmap you can act on, with or without us.

  • Site & guest-journey read
  • Wellness positioning & concept direction
  • Commercial opportunity outline
  • A roadmap for what comes next
Fixed fee · on enquiry

The Design

A full design engagement.

For venues building or renovating a space.

Spatial and sensory design from concept to fabrication-ready, with production oversight if you want us to see it through.

  • Everything in The Reading
  • Full spatial & sensory design
  • Material, light, scent & sound direction
  • Technical & fabrication documentation
  • Production management (optional)
Fixed project fee, staged · on enquiry

The Residency

A named, time-boxed season.

For venues who want a reason for guests to book this quarter.

One season, built around a single theme and — where it earns its place — a partner brand. Designed, programmed and produced end to end, then handed over with everything your team needs to run it again.

  • Theme, name & season concept
  • Partner brand sourcing & agreement
  • Space, ritual & treatment design
  • Launch moment & press assets
  • Handover pack so it can run again
Per residency · on enquiry

The Programme

Ongoing, quarterly.

For a space that's open and needs to stay alive.

The living layer — events, residencies, activations, and brand partnerships — programmed and produced on a rolling basis.

  • Event & residency programming
  • Practitioner & partner sourcing
  • Brand activations & partnerships
  • Production & on-site delivery

Designing something that needs to be felt, not just seen? Enter Solaris — our parent studio — runs a parallel set of services for experiential installations, stage design and brand activations. See Enter Solaris services →

Most spaces keep you at the surface. We design the ones you can see through.

Wipe to see clearly
Wipe to see clearly. The steam clears, then slowly settles back — the way a good space keeps doing its work after you've left it.
