Contrast therapy is showing up across workplace, hospitality, residential amenities and wellness projects alike, but the delivery risk sits well below the surface.
At du Boulay Projects, we delivered arc Canary Wharf, London’s first communal contrast therapy club. The space includes one of the UK’s largest saunas and eight individual ice baths, all set within a technically complex environment where services coordination, waterproofing, sequencing, and finish performance matter every day.
Since completing Arc, we are increasingly asked to get involved early on wellness and spa schemes, not to badge projects or count pipelines, but to help shape decisions before designs harden.
Our early involvement typically covers spatial planning around thermal areas, plant, and circulation, technical detailing for high moisture and high use environments, material selection (based on durability, maintenance, and lifecycle performance) and buildability reviews to reduce risk and pressure once work starts on site.
Wellness spaces have little tolerance for poor detailing or late changes. Getting the right contractor input, at the right moment leads to clearer designs, fewer compromises, and smoother delivery.
If your team is planning something in wellness or spa and want delivery experience influencing the design from the outset, let’s talk.
