Nusta Spa, a 5,000sq ft (465sq m) LEED-certified US wellbeing facility in Washington’s central business district, has relaunched following three months of intense repairs after smoke and water damage was caused by an electrical fire in October 2014.

The spa had recently marked its 10-year anniversary with a redesigned retail space and new line-up of results-oriented skincare when the fire triggered the sprinkler system and caused damage to much of the sustainable interiors.

Despite the disruption, Nusta converted its lounges to treatment rooms and launched mobile massage and skincare – bringing Nusta’s staff to clients’ homes and offices.

“While we were able to serve many of our clients’ wellness needs during the repairs, we could not host them in our award-winning facilities, so I’m thrilled that we’re reopening as scheduled,” said owner Elizabeth Snowdon Bonner. “All repairs were done in accordance to our green building approach and the spa looks better than ever.”

The spa originally went ‘green’ in 2004 with the help of Kendall Wilson, a partner at architecture firm Envision Design.
