Milk + Honey Arboretum

• Our second project with our friends at Milk + Honey. While we worked to keep the spa spaces intimate, this former Saks Fifth Avenue shell boasted 45-foot ceilings in some areas and a flamboyant gold-leaf clad monitor with an oculus at its center. Our choice was to embrace it – leaving the gold leaf in place.

  Clients are presented with a seemingly peaceful environment masking the industry occurring out of sight and out of earshot.

• With its large central planter and tree, the lounge is a singular – and Instagrammable – space for relaxing.
