Concept
A journey through a traditional Latvian spa ritual. Our design focuses on establishing a relationship between the new spa house and key elements of its surrounding landscape.
strategy
Emphasizing physical relationships to these elements adds to the sensation of being re-energized by your environment, as well as by the traditional spa process in Latvia. Our designed is largely influenced by vernacular architecture in materials and form. The entrance leads the guest through the earth itself, and introduces the pond. A second axis introduces a system of pools of different qualities: a cold tub, a hot tub, warm tubs, and blue clay tubs.
