Lark: The Spa Atelier. A cosy retreat tucked away behind the spiral staircase of Hotel Royal. Indulge in some intellectual pampering, touch and admire beautiful things, read a book, douse yourself in the smattering of body creams and carefully curated skincare products. Unwind in the bath, enjoy a massage, refresh with a facial, or simply pop in to connect with friends, and catch your breath before continuing with the rigors of city life.

Imagine…a private space, cosy, self-sufficient, filled with a treasure trove of beloved items – skincare, books, tea.
A surprise awaiting the seekers of solitude in the midst of tourist bustle. One room, one bath tub, a little shelf displaying treasured items. A spa menu with literary inspired treatments to delight readers and non-readers alike.
A place where the lit-minded go to spa.
Whatever brings you to them, they're looking forward to knowing you...

Designed by ONG&ONG this stunning house is located at Faber Park. The most attention-grabbing detail of this project is the dark grey metal cladding used generously on the external facade, which oozes with modern, edgy vibes. Its sharp and well-defined sides create a chic and unique face to this otherwise conventional family home.
To complement the edgy nature of the exterior, plenty of natural materials such as timber-teak and teak strips were used liberally throughout the entirety of the house, displayed tastefully on the walls, flooring or furniture.

A colossal, spiral staircase greets one in the immaculate interior, commanding a strong visual axis. This forms the focal point of the entire house.
Also, in line with an eco-friendly theme, a skylight was constructed in the basement, which enables natural sunlight to stream in and illuminate the house’s interior space while also keeping it warm on the occasional cold day.
