The project
Studio BANAA designed V&Co., a 2,060 sq ft medical spa in San Jose, California, completed in 2023. It realises a lifelong dream of twin sisters Vivian and Valerie, who had built their clientele in the beauty industry over many years.
The design challenges the austerity of typical medical spas, reworking an ordinary office corridor into a sequence of surprises with round windows, arched niches, a marbled pink reception counter and a moody green lounge with arched mirrors.
