It has been confirmed that Amsterdam’s floating spa, Floating Gardens, will open its doors in 2014. As well as being groundbreaking in its location and design it will also offer forward thinking treatments. Designed by Dutch architects Studio Noach, the spa is built using recycled polystyrene, which is stronger than steel and provides excellent insulation. It is also buoyant, which allows the spa to float on a lake just outside the city centre. Coated in vegetation, the concept will breathe oxygen.
"We turn trash into green treasure," says Michel Kreuger of Studio Noach, one of the concept designers who has travelled the world to find the best treatments. Arenas such as psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) – which looks at how emotions and health are linked and how stress leads to disease - will be explored.
"Today's pioneering experiments in neuroplasticity - a new science studying the brain's potential for change - gives clear evidence that the brain can adapt, heal and renew itself. Our spa will offer this wealth of knowledge to its customers," says Kreuger. "Spas should not just offer relaxation and attention, change is what people are looking for."
