Two tiers.
One standard of engineering.

Both suites are built to the same structural and compliance standards, in moisture-resistant construction, around a 25 m² footprint. The difference is finish, refinement, and the depth of systems integration.

Datum

Tier 01 · The fixed reference point
Datum suite — neutral plaster walls, timber-effect slat feature wall, large-format tile floor under soft recessed light.

A fully specified, compliant and durable wellness environment — engineered to perform in year ten as it does in year one, without the investment of premium finishes.

The material palette is clean and neutral: luxury vinyl tile, moisture-resistant emulsion, timber-effect cladding. Datum is not a budget product — it is a considered, fully resolved fitout for the long term.

Datum — specification highlights
Acoustic isolationRw 45 dB
VentilationMechanical extract (MEV), humidity-sensing boost — 4 / 8 ACH
WallsMoisture-resistant emulsion, with polished-plaster option
Feature wallTimber-effect slat cladding, secret-fixed
FlooringLuxury vinyl tile / large-format porcelain (R10 / R11 wet)
LightingLED throughout, 3000K, optional 2–4 scene control
Design life15 years, primary finishes

Horizon

Tier 02 · The expanded view

A boutique-spa aesthetic through an elevated material palette and deeper systems integration — for clients to whom the experience of the space matters as much as its performance.

Continuous plaster and microcement surfaces, large-format porcelain or engineered European oak, and a feature wall in solid thermally-modified timber — not a laminate facsimile.

Horizon suite — oak slat wall, a timber-lined infrared sauna cabin and a built-in cold plunge under warm indirect light.

+Horizon optional upgrades

Pivot door

A central or off-centre pivot in place of the hinged entry — a more architectural arrival, allowing wider and heavier leaves. Subject to structural adequacy.

Natural stone flooring

Limestone or travertine, 15 mm honed, in place of porcelain. Subject to structural assessment for the added dead load.

Tadelakt feature wall

Traditional Moroccan lime plaster — waterproof, polished and jointless. Specialist applicator; longer lead time.

Timber slat ceiling

Thermally-modified European oak slats over an acoustic absorber, to the relaxation zone. Subject to ceiling height.

ZonesWhat we prepare

Designed around the equipment you choose.

We don't supply equipment — by design, so you can select any compliant sauna or cold plunge. What we build is the purpose-made environment that lets it perform: the structure, circuits, drainage and ventilation each zone requires. We work with you to identify the optimal equipment.

Installed infrared sauna cabin — cedar lining, glass door, low-profile infrared panels, integrated oak bench.
