With the SP-116, Studio F. A. Porsche reimagines the traditional whirlpool as an integral part of a holistic outdoor living space. Rather than focusing solely on the product itself, the design explores how design, architecture, and functionality can come together to create a cohesive outdoor experience. Guided by the principle of “Redefining Outdoor Living,” the studio developed a design for Hanscraft that seamlessly integrates wellness into everyday life.

The design follows a clear, minimalist aesthetic. Precise proportions, clean surfaces, and carefully considered details give the SP-116 a distinctive architectural character without drawing unnecessary attention to itself. A continuous line of light accentuates the whirlpool’s geometry and transforms its presence, particularly in the evening hours. Light thus becomes an integral part of the design.

A key element of the design is the modular furniture system. It extends the whirlpool beyond its primary function, creating various opportunities for sitting, lounging, placing objects, and coming together. This transforms a standalone wellness product into a versatile space that can be seamlessly integrated into different outdoor environments and adapted to various uses.

For the SP-116, Studio F. A. Porsche combines its design philosophy with Hanscraft’s extensive expertise in spa technology and engineering. The result is a design in which form and function are seamlessly integrated. Its minimalist aesthetic, modular system, and technical execution are guided by a shared ambition: to create a new framework for outdoor living.
