Located in Australia, Willow Urban Retreat consists of a wholefood cafe, a movement and meditation studio, a day spa and a detox facility.
It is situated within two double story heritage buildings on High street, Armadale. Working within two narrow heritage buildings, the two titles are opened up with the insertion of a central courtyard, an oversized arch to the shopfront and long skylights along the perimeter of the building, maximising space, volume and natural light. Further arches slice through the dividing wall to connect the café and spa, encouraging circulation within the multipurpose space.
