Design consultancy, mechanical and electrical installation for award winning spa at Wyboston Lakes, the UK’s largest privately owned single site specialist conference, management training, hotel and leisure destination.
“We worked with Melt Design Hub to deliver a one-of-a-kind spa at Wyboston.
The external hydro-pool and Kelo sauna, together with an open-air fireplace
and thermal suite, clearly show how Y spa’s owners were willing
to go that bit further to achieve a world-class experience“
Herman Holme, of GeoSpa
Objectives
With a team of Spa experts, the contracted GeoSpa is known to make visions become reality by providing developers, hoteliers, investors and spa owners with stunning and innovative spa zones. From here came the commitment of Wyboston Lakes to design and build an exceptional Spa facility – Y Spa, to complement their existing 400 bedroom hotel. The total philosophy here became about Health, Wellness and Rejuvenation.
Solution
In 2012 GeoSpa contracted Melt Design Hub who came up with an opulent design for the new ‘Y Spa’ set within Wyboston Lakes to be accessible while maintaining an air of exclusivity. Once the design was in place, GeoSpa created the extensive heat and water experiences. A sum of £3million was spent developing this evolutionary spa, divided into different zones creating a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Set on 2 floors, the 1st floor encompassed 11 treatment rooms and the ground floor suite, the ‘wellness centre’, featured a wet room, rasul (mud rooms) and hydraulic treatment beds for couples, all fully accessible for guests with disabilities.
Wyboston Lakes then appointed DWM Technical Solutions to carry out the large number of Technical requirements at the Spa including the following:
- Design Consultancy – Including developing original bespoke template design to enable the solution to become fit for purpose and to achieve application within a revised budget. DWM were tasked to consult with GeoSpa, Architects Syntax and Client Wyboston Lakes to realise the Spa design.
- Mechanical Services – LPHW Heating, Hot & Cold water Systems, Ventilation, Drainage above ground & Air Conditioning.
- Electrical Services – LV Distribution, Small Power, Lighting, Emergency Lighting, Fire Alarm, Data Wire-ways & CCTV.
