Beauty Club
Ruili, China

Photo by WANG YIXIANG

The scenic Hengduan Mountains and lush subtropical rainforests in China's Yunnan
Province inspired Parallect Design cofounder Di Huang's innovative design for
Beauty Club, a posh spa in the nearby port city of Ruili on the border of Burma.
While the sleek lobby, lounge, and treatment areas have white wood-veneered walls
and seamless epoxy flooring, the spaces are connected by a T-shaped portal with
an arched and vaulted ceiling that is covered from top to bottom in reflective blue
crystal plating. "The customers cross the blue gallery to start their beautiful journey,"
says Huang, noting that it creates visual tension with the other spaces and recalls
deep water ice. It's not the only homage to the spectacular natural surroundings: In
an area outside the treatment rooms, tiers of sinuous wave-like sculptures protrude
from the ceiling and floor, referencing the water and mountains on the horizon.
The unexpected installations do more than contribute to the relaxing and luxurious
milieu. "In China," Huang says, "people like to find beautiful and special spaces to
take photos."
