INTERIOR DESIGN OF SPA USING ADAPTIVE REUSE APPROACH CASE STUDY: GLORY BALI MASSAGE, KUTA, BALI

Abstract

Old buildings often have the potential to be repurposed, giving them new value without the need for full demolition. This study aims to transform a former restaurant into a SPA facility using an adaptive reuse approach, focusing on spatial efficiency, user comfort, and preservation of local identity. The research applied a qualitative method, including observation, documentation of existing conditions, user needs analysis, and interviews with the client. The design concept chosen is Balinese Tropical Contemporary, combining traditional Balinese values with modern aesthetics. The design process involved space analysis, relationship matrix, bubble diagram, and block plan to ensure functional and aesthetic flow. The result of this design is a clear vertical zoning: the first floor for public areas (receptionist, waiting area, manicure/pedicure), the second floor for treatment areas (sauna, soaking room, treatment room), and the third floor for private areas (VIP room, laundry, staff facilities). The use of natural materials, soft lighting, and Balinese decorative elements creates a warm and relaxing atmosphere that enhances the overall SPA experience.
