CHIKUSHITSU Anji — Bamboo Thermal Spa Design & Material Supply

Project Overview

 

 

 

 

 

Corridor & Staircase Lobby — Dark bronze angled ceiling with cove lighting, dark stone staircase with brass handrails, and reflective water feature with natural boulders

A wellness group in Anji — China's bamboo capital — hired us to design and supply a thermal spa retreat on a hillside surrounded by dense bamboo forest. 520 square meters. The space had to sequence arrival, treatment, and recovery so guests never backtrack and never wonder where they are.

The spa comprises six treatment rooms, two private soaking suites, a tea lounge, a water-feature corridor, and a post-treatment relaxation suite. Five materials run through every zone — dark bronze, bamboo, warm stone, water, linen. The materials came from within 200 km of the site.

All wall finishes use moisture-resistant plaster rated for 85% continuous RH — essential in a thermal spa where steam exposure never stops. Bamboo screens are treated with a three-coat anti-mold sealant. Bronze ceiling panels have a factory-applied anti-tarnish coating that holds up in high-humidity without darkening.

 

 

Design Philosophy — Bamboo & Bronze

 

 

 

 

 

Water Feature Nook — Shallow reflective pool with natural dark boulders, backlit oval bronze wall accent, woven bamboo screen, and sunken stone display

Anji grows bamboo. So the spa uses bamboo instead of the standard perforated metal screens. Woven bamboo panels filter light into warm, textured patterns — the same dappled light you get standing under bamboo stalks. These screens are everywhere: treatment room dividers, corridor panels, lounge partitions.

Against the bamboo, dark bronze gives structure. Angled dark bronze ceiling panels with integrated warm cove LED lighting run through the entire spa — from the entry staircase through the corridor into every treatment room. Same profile, same lighting temperature everywhere. Polished dark stone floor tiles anchor the space. Warm beige textured plaster walls soften the hard surfaces. Five materials. No substitutions.

 

 

Treatment Rooms — The Core Experience

 

 

 

 

 

Material Detail — Woven bamboo screen with warm cove glow, bronze ceiling, marble soaking tub with steam, and glass door reflecting the spa corridor

Marble soaking tubs use penetrating stone sealer rated for thermal water to 45°C. Floor drains in every treatment room are stainless steel with anti-hair-clog grates — this single detail eliminates most maintenance calls in spa operations. Glass doors use marine-grade aluminum framing to resist corrosion from chlorine and mineral-rich water.

Each dual treatment room has two white linen treatment beds on dark wooden bases. Above them, a warm dark bronze curved ceiling with a circular layered accent and integrated cove LED. Woven bamboo arched screens separate the beds. A built-in white marble soaking tub sits beneath a sheer linen curtain — the window behind it looks out onto bamboo forest.

A freestanding circular vanity mirror on a bronze frame sits between the beds. A small stone basin water feature near the glass sliding door provides the only sound besides breathing. Through the glass door, the corridor runs past — same bronze ceiling, same dark stone floor, same bamboo screens. Guests see where they came from and where they're going.

 

 

Private Soaking Suites

 

 

 

 

 

Private Soaking Suite — Two marble soaking tubs, bamboo arched privacy screens, bronze curved ceiling, and sheer linen curtains with bamboo forest view

The two private soaking suites are smaller, quieter. Each has two white marble soaking tubs side by side, separated by woven bamboo arched screens. Warm dark bronze curved ceiling with cove LED — same as the treatment rooms. Sheer linen curtains filter daylight from windows facing the bamboo grove. The tubs sit at 40°C — hot enough to loosen muscle, cool enough to stay in for an hour.

Rolled white towels and spa products sit on dark wooden side tables. A freestanding circular mirror on a bronze frame — same as the treatment rooms. Glass sliding doors face the corridor. Same bronze ceiling visible through the glass.

 

 

Tea Lounge & Relaxation Suite

 

 

 

 

 

Tea Lounge — Dark wood tea table with beige seating, paper pendant lamps, bamboo screens, and framed mountain-and-crane landscape artwork

The tea lounge is where guests come after treatment. A long dark wood tea table with warm beige upholstered seating. A cluster of paper-style pendant lamps overhead throws warm, diffused light. A framed mountain-and-crane landscape painting on the beige plaster wall — the only artwork in the spa, placed where people sit still long enough to look at it.

Woven bamboo screens divide the lounge into seating clusters without blocking sightlines. Through the glass sliding doors, the spa corridor and staircase lobby are visible — the reflective water feature, dark stone steps with brass handrails, the bronze ceiling. You can see the path you walked in.

 

 

Post-Treatment Relaxation Suite

 

 

 

 

 

Relaxation Suite — Beige upholstered sofa, dark wood vanity with wellness products, bronze-framed mirror, bamboo screen, and bronze circular room sign

The relaxation suite is a private room for post-treatment rest. Beige upholstered sofa, dark wooden side table, warm table lamp. Dark wooden vanity counter with wellness products and a small potted bamboo. Freestanding circular mirror on a bronze frame.

Sheer linen curtains at a window facing the bamboo forest. Woven bamboo screen divider. Warm bronze ceiling. A bronze circular room sign on the wall. Through the clear glass sliding door, the corridor — the guest always knows their position in the spa. The bamboo screens in the relaxation suite need quarterly re-treatment with anti-mold sealant — steam finds every surface eventually.

Key Results

 

 

All materials delivered within a 12-week lead time from order confirmation to Anji site handover. The bamboo-and-bronze material language — woven bamboo replacing conventional perforated metal — was praised by the operator as uniquely resonant with Anji's identity as China's bamboo capital. The five-element visual same appearing in every zone created a spa where guests instinctively understand the spatial flow without signage. The facility achieved full occupancy within its first month and was nominated for a regional hospitality design award in its opening quarter.

CHIKUSHITSU Anji runs on five materials delivered as one consolidated shipment from OneStopBuildly. We supply complete material packages for wellness and spa projects — moisture-resistant wall finishes, anti-tarnish metal ceilings, treated bamboo or wood screens, marble soaking tubs, commercial-grade plumbing fixtures. Every spa material is pre-tested for high-humidity environments. Consolidated containers, all components crated and labeled by installation zone. For GCC spa projects, we upgrade all metal to 316L stainless steel against coastal salt exposure and provide full SASO compliance documentation.
