'Wellness and body care are gaining importance - and not only among the rich and famous. In today's fast-paced world, people welcome a place to chill out, to release stress, to recharge. A huge
number of wellness centres and related facilities continue to appear in response to this popular demand. Thirty-two of the hottest designs are showcased in Relax. The book is divided into three
sections: Spas, Salons and Gyms. Each project featured has been selected for its aesthetic qualities and for the designer's innovative approach to health and wellbeing. Relax presents work by
well-established names such as Mario Botta, Steven Holl and Karim Rashid, while also introducing younger talent, perhaps less well known but definitely worth watching. All projects
areaccompanied by high-quality photography, in-depth essays, floor plans, project details and contact information. Each section ends with one beautifully designed but unrealized project,
illustrated with renderings. Enjoy viewing interiors whose superb design gives a vigorous boost to human wellness.' -- Back cover.
