- Spencer’s Spa was designed to feel like a private home rather than a cold or transactional clinic-like spa.

- The interior swaps minimal white surfaces for warmer materials and details, including soft halogen lighting, paneled walls, books, art, and sculptural objects.
- Ryan McCarthy says he wanted the spa to feel like an extension of a favorite living room.
- The decor includes art from McCarthy’s personal collection, such as abstract works by local painter Steven Gilbert.
- Mid-century furniture and curated objects were selected with British designer Charlotte Taylor.
- McCarthy describes the atmosphere as a “quiet oasis in the sky.”
- The design aims to balance privacy and social awareness, letting guests sense activity around them without feeling watched.
- McCarthy compares the space to an old house where hearing floorboards and movement signals that the place is full of life.
