About Barrett Design


Johnna Barrett

Possessing the innate ability to move seamlessly between architecture and interior design, Johnna Barrett has been creating truly spectacular environments for more than 18 years. One of Catalyst Magazine's Top Five Entrepreneurs, she has planned and designed more than 400 successful projects in 16 states, predominately in the Northeast and Southeast, and currently has projects in the works in the U.A.E. Her specialties include multi-family residential, corporate interiors, hospitality, spas and wellness facilities, restaurant and nightclub design, entertainment venues, color theory, and educational facility design.

With an expertise in high-end spa development, and in the psychology of interiors and color theory, Johnna has incorporated the principles of Herbert Benson—the leading expert on mind-body relationships—and uses these principles to create a specialty space she is quickly becoming known for—The Relaxation Room. The Relaxation Room is a deeply serene space that induces total mind-body relaxation. In these spaces, Johnna incorporates both technology and visual stimulation to craft an environment that evokes both a physiological and psychological response. She incorporates unique features including: flowing water, specialty flooring, advanced massage chairs, fully adjustable color kinetic lighting and sound systems designed to affect brainwave patterns.

Some of Barrett Design's recent achievements include:

"Tranquility" - the relaxation room in the world's largest military burn unit, based in San Antonio, Texas—the first facility of its kind in the U.S.

Spring Creek - a 7,000 square-foot, eight-bedroom home with 20-foot windows, an interior courtyard rock garden and a far-infrared sauna

Two nature-based, high-end spas with special effects lighting and artwork in Abu Dhabi

Her award-winning "Main Street U.S.A." and "Wall Works" interior design concepts for Atlanta's high-end Crème de la Crème childcare centers.
