Planning begins with dialogue: Which processes are essential? What kinds of retreats do patients, guests and professionals need? We analyse operational processes, create movement profiles and integrate requirements such as accessibility, discreet access, hygiene regulations and flexible usage options. At the same time, we think about atmosphere – with a special focus on materials, colours, light and haptics. The result is a spatial structure that combines therapeutic function and aesthetic quality. Each zone – whether therapy room, relaxation lounge or spa – is planned with the aim of offering maximum benefit and a deep sense of well-being.

Medical wellness facilities are as individual as their users. We often design treatment rooms, relaxation and retreat areas, spa and therapy areas, medical or diagnostic units, exercise rooms, and reception and lounge areas. It is crucial that all areas of the facility form a coherent overall concept – in terms of design, function, and emotion.

Our customers are our co-creators. We do not see our task as imposing a concept on you, but rather as bringing your vision to life in three dimensions. We work with you to develop the perfect solution using material presentations and 3D simulations. You can experience your rooms before they are built, test atmospheres and define processes. We advise, develop, inspire – and implement what suits you best. The entire planning process is transparent, flexible and tailored to your wishes.

Yes, and this is often where the greatest design challenge – and opportunity – lies. Maximum impact, efficiency and atmosphere must be created in a small space. Our strength lies in cleverly combining functional zones, integrating storage space invisibly and thinking about design elements in a multifunctional way. Even a small relaxation area or a single treatment room can become a brand message – if it is well planned. We show you how to turn a small space into real added value for your guests.

We develop and manufacture customised furnishing solutions – from treatment furniture and lighting to built-in furniture. Ergonomic, high-quality, well thought-out. We take into account frequency of use, ease of care and emotional impact in equal measure. Everything is created in our in-house production facility – precisely, on time and with attention to detail.

Many of our customers modernise or expand existing wellness areas while continuing to operate. We understand how important discretion, noise protection and precise scheduling are in such cases. That is why we develop intelligent construction phase concepts with temporary partitions or quiet staging periods. Guests should feel welcome and comfortable despite the renovation work. Through close coordination with your team and detailed scheduling, we ensure that everything runs smoothly – without compromising on quality or the schedule.

Longevity stands for a holistic concept that aims to promote a long, healthy and energetic life. It combines medical prevention, exercise, nutrition, mental health and regenerative treatments. Longevity is becoming increasingly important in the hotel industry – especially in the area of medical wellness. In terms of planning, this means that classic spa and wellness areas are being expanded or redesigned. Rooms are being created for diagnostic services, individual therapies, coaching or exercise sessions. At the same time, the requirements for acoustics, lighting, choice of materials and room zoning are increasing. Peace, retreat, medical discretion and quality of stay must be harmonised. Appia develops integrated solutions for such concepts – from the architectural structure and technical equipment to the appropriate furnishings. The result is wellness areas that not only relax, but also actively contribute to health.
