The new pool and spa complex
is connected to the existing hotel via a communication axis
comprising various public spaces, which leads along the new
pools to the future hotel at the west edge of the site. On the
south of the axis, the swimming pool hall contains indoor pools
and adjoining saunas, the outdoor pools with the restaurant
are located on the north side. Upper floor houses various healthcare
and wellness programs.
The dynamic volume of the pool hall evokes the water drop shape,
its smooth interior wooden sheath dispersing water reflections
from the pool. The principal volume behind establishes hierarchy
of the scheme; a wrapping of coloured expanded metal softens
its rigid lines. To the north, the wide overhang spans the entire
length of the scheme, protecting the poll support areas. The
pool platform, comprising the swimming, thermal and children's
pools, is covered in warm terracotta tiles, while the pools'
interior is clad in a pattern of blue-green hues, echoing the
water's dynamic.
Energy use represents an important feature of the project. The
primary energy source, thermal water, is used in the pools,
but it also provides energy for the building's other functions.
