Indoteak Design Project Spotlight: Monaco Drive Gym & Spa

Some homes exude a different level of design, elegance and beauty.

Not many people can boast about having a 6,000 square foot gym and spa area tucked below their existing tennis court. This property design does well at preserving the surrounding landscape, keeping the secluded vibe of the topography. While it’s independent of the tennis court structure above, the new spa houses workout facilities, an Olympic lap pool, steam room, spa baths and lounge.
