Situated on a forested hillside, this wellness retreat comprises meditation baths, a sauna, and a lounge, designed to deliver a holistic sensory experience. The architectural sequence follows a controlled spiral geometry, guiding visitors upward to a panoramic rooftop platform. This layout harmonizes the building with the natural topography while establishing a clear experiential and circulation logic.
The project reinterprets regional vernacular traditions through a contemporary structural lens. A hybrid system was engineered to address the site’s complexity: a reinforced concrete base secures the building to the sloped terrain, while a sustainable timber superstructure reduces embodied carbon. Locally sourced stone is utilized for the envelope, providing high thermal mass and a tactile connection to the site’s geological context.
