Summary

Bread Loaf’s design and construction of the Equinox Spa reflects the historic context of the Equinox Resort while providing an interior that balances rustic and refined elements. The indoor pool uses extensive glass to connect visually with the outdoors and create an open, light-filled space inside.

The spa portion of the project includes treatment rooms, a movement studio, an exercise room, a manicure room as well as locker rooms with saunas. An outdoor hot tub and patio complement the pool area while offering resort guests a spectacular view of Mount Equinox.
