Private Residential Wellness Centre
by Shalini Misra Design

Shalini Misra Design has completed a private residential wellness sanctuary in Switzerland, transforming a challenging basement space into an immersive retreat dedicated to restoration, relaxation and wellbeing.

Conceived as a highly personalised spa environment, the project required Shalini Misra Design to overcome significant architectural constraints, including the absence of natural light and low ceiling heights. Rather than viewing these conditions as obstacles, Shalini Misra Design used them as opportunities to create a carefully controlled and highly atmospheric wellness experience tailored to the client’s needs.

The project also showcases Shalini Misra Design’s commitment to craftsmanship and bespoke detailing. Collectible design pieces, artisan made furnishings, custom cabinetry and specialist stonework were integrated throughout the spa to create a cohesive and highly personalised environment.

One of the most striking features is the ceiling treatment. Shalini Misra Design collaborated on a bespoke hand sculpted floral plaster installation by Ippolita Romeo, with lighting integrated into each petal. Combined with reflective surfaces and recessed perimeter lighting, the feature draws the eye upward and transforms the low ceiling into a sculptural focal point.
