Z LUXE STUDIO

Step into a wellness hotel that will transform you: feel invigorated, yet relaxed. A relaxation lounge filled with light, a living sculpture. A distilled experience inspired by slot canyons, and choreographed as poetry.

Why I love to explore flea markets? I love surprises! This vibrant blue chair caught my attention from the side view: take a look at the next photo.

While busy designing a theater for Wynn Al Marjan Resort in UAE I visited Theater Royale in Madrid. This section drawing is quite fascinating as it illustrates how much space is dedicated to Back-of-house versus the red auditorium and the grey public areas….

What type of projects do you want? For years I talked and wrote about my passion for choreographing guest experiences. How every step a guest takes in hospitality can make a story unfold like a drama or story: subtly, boldly yet intuitively. From the arrival, the pull on the front doors, every space can be a chapter or an act, revealing or surprising what may come next.

Guess what: 1 1/2 years ago I was asked to design a theater for Wynn Resort Al Marjan, UAE. Every space was to be immersive, even the restrooms!

Dream it, want it, be passionate and dreams do come through✨.

Love is on a mural on Abbott Kinney Rd, Venice Beach!

Luxe and true glamour: Bob Mackie, designer to the stars, his work is on display at Palm Spring’s Artmuseum.

I never get tired of seeing Modernism architecture in Palm Springs-such elegant exposed steel structures.

I love exploring Palm Springs, searching for unique design. This time staying at the Liberace inspired guestroom . Also called the Candelabra room. A small 8 room boutique hotel.

Luxury is what makes your mind soar, what makes your heart skip a beat.

Do you feel this space? Letting go. A relaxation lounge which asks you to whisper and exhale.

“Where Silence Becomes Couture: The New Language of Ultra-Luxury Wellness”

When I design a spa like this, I’m not thinking about furniture, finishes, or form. I am thinking about how a guest’s body will soften the moment they arrives.

This relaxation lounge is designed like a quiet ritual: arrival, pause, release. Nothing is accidental. Nothing is rushed. The architecture flows rather than directs. There are no hard thresholds, only transitions.

Light is diffused, never confrontational. Water becomes a reflective partner, doubling space and dissolving edges, encouraging the mind to let go of control.

Each alcove here is intentionally intimate, a personal sanctuary within a shared environment.

And that, to me, is the highest form of luxury.
