Refresh57

An Oasis at the Office

Inspired by the idea of creating a spa-like retreat for busy urban commuters, Refresh57 is a luxurious amenity space designed to rejuvenate the body and mind of ESRT’s 250 West 57th Street office tenants. The project team’s vision was to craft an immersive spa experience that seamlessly integrates wellness into a corporate office environment. Whether winding down from a morning commute or seeking respite from a busy day, Refresh57 is an opportunity to relax and find peace.

The design of Refresh57 maximizes both form and function. The space consists of six individual cabanas, which are equipped with custom showers and restrooms, providing both comfort and privacy. Inspired by the juxtaposition between the high-energy of the city against the tranquility of Central Park, the materials selected for the space blend modern finishes with more natural elements.

Glass, metal, plaster, tile, and concrete converge to create a sense of sophistication and durability. The interplay of black and white tones creates a dynamic visual contrast that is both modern and timeless. Deep green accents incorporated through lush plants and upholstery foster a connection to nature.

The design team created an environment that was both aesthetically pleasing and a calming presence for users, embodying the values of holistic well-being and sustainability. Each design element was carefully selected to enhance the sensory experience: the soft touches of upholstery, the fresh aromas through curated fragrances, sleek architectural details and signage, and the soft dimmable lighting throughout.

Refresh57 is a testament to the evolving needs of the modern workforce, where health and vitality are integral to productivity and fulfillment. Step into Refresh57 and immerse yourself in a journey of renewal and revitalization—a space designed to stand the test of time, inspiring wellness and renewal.
