Branding: This branding is custom designed to reflect the overall concept of Papillion. The text is meant to display the Moroccan influence. The butterfly and splatter reflect the concept of transformation and the experience of the spa. Lastly, the color scheme is reflective of the pop style of Miami and the feminine love for beauty and self care.
Diagramming: This project was organized around function and service. The VIP lounge is located in the back with private entry. The more private services are in the deepest areas of the spa including the massage rooms and dressing spaces. The pedicure manicure lounge is located in the center. The quicker and public services are located towards the front. All employee spaces are located in the back of the building and have quick access to trash and laundry pick up through a lane entrance in the back.

The Waiting Room: The waiting room includes papeir-mache sculptures by two french artists.
