<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Gray utilized its extensive experience in spa environments to provide a functional layout with warm relaxing finishes that are able to evolve seasonally to keep the facility fresh and up to date. The design team aimed to create a classic space that felt residential and welcoming.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;The combination of the soft lighting with the rich neutral gold color palette creates a soothing and nurturing feeling one hopes to experience while visiting a spa,&rdquo; said Wendy Gray, principal. &ldquo;The client wanted the customers to feel as if they are in the comfort of their own homes, and I think we accomplished that goal for them.&rdquo;</p>

<h4>To accent the neutral colors, the receptionist&rsquo;s desk is made out of dark, cherry wood with ornate carved detailing.</h4>
<p>Similar wood is used for the cabinetry and lockers in the changing room, which are programmed to customers&rsquo; personal coded combinations. Retail products available for purchase are displayed on back-lit shelving created from decorative acrylic panels with a botanical motif.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The multiple treatment rooms offer a variety of lighting options based on the type of treatment. To ensure customers have the ability to feel relaxed and rejuvenated, Gray created a relaxation area with comfortable built-in lounge seating and a full-height glass waterfall feature.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Gray&rsquo;s team consisted of Don McAtee, senior project manager, and Ashley Smith, project manager. Interior Construction Services was the general contractor.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Gray fulfilled my vision of a beautiful, peaceful and tranquil place where clients can come and put themselves first,&rdquo; said Mikki Monger-Jones, owner of A True Spa. &ldquo;They combined all the wonderful aspects of the many worldwide spas I have traveled to into one very special place.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A True Spa is an upscale day spa offering a full range of aesthetic services, including massage therapy, facials, body treatments and specialty services such as air-brush tanning and semi-permanent make-up. For more information, visit www.atruespa.com.</p>
