Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary in Freestone, California is part of the Green Spa network http://greenspanetwork.org/ . Natural clay wall finishes called 'Alis' were applied to the walls to give the Spa a connection to the earth, assist in air purification, and create beauty.

We installed custom designed clay finishes for this house. The introduction of colour, in concert with the naturally 'grounding' materials transformed this house into a 'home'.
