A serene but splendid med spa for a reviving experience, this 1,600 sq ft clinic in Hyderabad designed by Beyond Spaces Design studio attests to the brand Maya Med Spa’s vision of a sophisticated space. Principal architect Mounika Kodali juxtaposes the very best elements of a royal haven within this urban retreat.

An understated white canvas, adorned with brass accents, arches, geometric furniture and plush pairings, the med spa is envisaged to be the ideal prototype. This neutral and serene space grounds the visitor, imbuing them with a sense of calm and relaxation.

Fluid, functional and flamboyant 

Entering through the main door with fluid panes of glass, one walks into a reception area that acquaints one with exactly the kind of experience they’re going to have.

Open. Opulent. Optimistic. The main space is inviting with a curved desk that’s practically a piece of art. Rounded display shells for products alongside a curved reception wall. A standalone brass sink is an ornament on display as much as it has functional utility. Fluidity is a constant theme throughout the space.

Stepping away from neutral, the treatment rooms have walls swathed in painted facial features in vivid shades. “ The long wall was a bit of a challenge as we didn’t want to do anything generic and create a good backdrop. We had to come up with something that is relatable to the clinic and their treatments. The client was obsessed with good lips and we had to give her that,” elucidates Mounika on this eclectic choice. 

You can be relaxed in the space, but never bored. The lounge area is a bit of a turnaround from the rest of the med spa. It has colour (quite a bit of it). A feature wall – embossed with lips, a burnt orange sofa and cosy pink chairs ensure that the lounge doubles down as a place to chat as well to shoot content.

Mirror, mirror, what’s on the walls?

Intricately painted faces all over the wall as well as organically shaped mirrors double down on the theme, as well as add character to the otherwise neutral walls. Mounika says, “The entire project was a very fun space for us. Generally, we use a lot of colours so it was a good change for us to design this space keeping a limited colour palette in mind.” 

Our favourite part about the med spa is that it knows what it wants to be and it delivers fantastically, ensuring that beauty will want to step back into this space again and again.
