The Garden State

Effe’s latest US project is a stylish private spa in a luxury residence in New Jersey, the Garden State located a short distance from New York. Installed in the basement during recent construction of the property, the spa features a Turkish bath and sauna, both custom made by Effe. The basement, envisaged by the owner as a leisure and wellness space, contains a gym, bar and home cinema as well. Effe also designed the sophisticated ensuite spa for the master bedroom, an exclusive haven of wellbeing with a shower and Turkish bath.
The partnership with the Perfect Wellness Group, Effe’s official North America distributor, helped ensure the smooth running of the project from logistics to installation, including its after-sales support, a key aspect of Effe’s corporate philosophy and one of its assets worldwide.

The Turkish bath is approximately 8 sqm and features a vaulted ceiling – which helps the condensation disperse – and ergonomic custom-made benches by Effe in EPS (expanded polystyrene). Marble mosaics cover the surfaces throughout, with the different colours creating unique decorative effects. A Nuvola Smart Power 140 has been installed in the Turkish bath, a high-power external generator whose technology, the most sophisticated of its kind found today, includes innovative systems to control consumption and the different functions. The clean, crisp lines of the touch-screen control panel also make Nuvola Smart Power a truly unbeatable design object. The Turkish bath is fitted with an Effe TuttoVetro Inside door in stainless steel and 8 mm toughened glass, designed to ensure the utmost safety, stop the heat and steam escaping and ensure proper air circulation.

The sauna is approximately 7 sqm and its size, elements and details have all been customised to meet the client’s brief. With floor-to-ceiling glass walls that give a spacious, open feeling, the sauna is made of superior Canadian hemlock and 10 mm toughened glass. The LED lighting under the bench and recessed into the ceiling creates a warm glow and has a built-in colour therapy feature.

The generous ensuite spa in the master bathroom has a shower/Turkish bath and bench, all clad in marble mosaic. The generator is a Touch&Steam 90, a compact, professional steam generator (3.7 cm visible thickness) with a stylish, lightweight design and a minimalist panel of silk-screen-printed toughened glass.
Effe heaters and steam generators are certified by IQM and CSA, the leading certification body in North America, which certifies the compliance of electrical and electronic devices with the essential safety standards and requirements in the USA and Canada.
