Endota Spa, Bourke St Melbourne
Claire Bastow is a lady on a mission and her new retail venture has combined both of her business passions, Endota Spa and Aleenta Barre. The challenge was to take both concepts and combine them into one space across a ground floor section and purpose built mezzanine floor space. Aleenta Barre is an exercise program that combines ballet techniques with Yoga flows and Pilate moves to create a low impact workout that is designed to lift, burn and tone the body. With all this placed in one location, it cannot help but be a winning combination. Located in Bourke Street near the corner of Williams, the site is really impactful and has created a buzz around the business district. Both Aleenta and Endota share the ground floor space with Endota also occupying the newly built mezzanine level that was developed in the tenancy due to its high ceiling volume. The result is outstanding and is a credit to Claire for her vision for the site and to Endota for combining such a rich textural approach to the finished environment. As Endota’s retail products and services are growing rapidly, this store has really showcased the retail offer and takes the spa sector to a whole new level with multiple, single and double rooms. The finishes and details in the design are a credit to the whole team that worked on this project and ACRD are delighted with the result and want to wish Claire and Endota all the success with this power retail combination.
