A small thermal center poses gently upon a slope and takes on a slender profile with the intention of minimizing its footprint and blending into the forest of poplars.
With a certain air of the industrial vestiges that can be found in the region, the spa is organized in two ‘towers’ interconnected by footbridges, which separate the served from the servant spaces.
The ritual of bathing is marked by an ascending sequence from the wood-paneled reception area to the hindrance-free relaxation hall, and on to the upper zone of pools, crowned by cylindrical wells that soften daylight.
