Hall Arts Spa and Fitness Center

Vedette, meaning the star of the show, strives to create a classic and luxurious environment. Just like a celebrity who is attracted to the lime light, so is the Vedette. With the social and open spaces and windows of the fitness center and the light but cozy architectural lighting elements of the spa, two different moods begin to take form. The contrast in moods between the spaces begin to interwine in the locker room connecting the two through the warm woods of the fitness center and the stark white and architectural lighting seen throughout the spa.
