Atmosphere Spa Design: Floor Plan ExpressIn today’s economy, it is paramount, more than ever before, for spa consultants and spa owners to create a floor plan that will support the development of the spa business and not restrict it. Too often, floor plans conceived by architectural or design firms not specialized in the spa industry, are limiting the operations and traffic flow capacities, with utilization rates of the surface below 50%.

For every new spa project, spa consultants and spa owners are faced with spending efforts and a lot of time, trying to teach architects and designers about the needs of spas for experience, business, operations, traffic flow and aesthetic. Realistically, it is impossible to teach in a few hours all the knowledge acquired by spa professionals during years of studies, trainings and experience.

Floor Plan Xpress by Atmosphere Spa Design is a service designed to allow spa professionals to develop a floor plan that will meet all of the specific spa requirements, allowing the best traffic flow while utilizing the space at its best, where aesthetic, operations, business and marketing perspectives are equally valued. It is called Xpress because the detailed floor plan can be completed within two weeks, depending on the dimension of the project, and for a very affordable cost.
