One Spa - Description:
At last a bit of colour in this dreary part of Edinburgh: a slim rectilinear building with timber boarding and blue panels. The upper curved section of Spa ONE, the Sheraton Hotel Health Club, Edinburgh contains a pleinair spa pool.

The dull slab of an end elevation sits uncomfortably next to the intrepid articluation of the front, western facade. The Sheraton Hotel Health Club needs the spaces around it to be rationalised before it can be fully understood.
The Santini restaurant on the ground floor of the Health Club is sadly rather pedestrian compared to the spa context.

"Terry Farrell has personally intervened on a £26m Building Design Partnership (BDP) scheme to extend his Edinburgh International Conference Centre, causing the practice to substantially alter the scheme. Farrell intervened to reduce the scale and height of the scheme because of fears that the extension would clash with his orginal design".
