Grand Senses Spa is located on Grafton Street in the historic downtown core of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Since moving to this location in 2015, the spa sees continued success, offering a modern amenity and a fresh experience to the city from within the shell of a carefully preserved heritage storefront.
The structure’s façade is restored to its original form with large storefront windows that address the street. The spa’s interior is an open-concept, transparent space wherein semi-transparent surfaces, patterned glazing panel, and screened openings afford comfortable privacy for clients. Lighting and colour strategies brighten areas and formally de-emphasize partitions. Natural maple finishes and diffused lighting provide the space with a relaxing, calm, and therapeutic atmosphere.
