The tourist farmstead complex, a former mill, comprises a cluster of five buildings. They stand in a forest-encircled clearing, with a stream running between them. The entire estate is designed, both architecturally and aesthetically, in a classic rustic manner, and the setting's scenography is romantic and idyllic.

As part of the next phase of expanding its tourist offering, the farmstead's owners planned the construction of anew spa, directly connected to the existing apartment building. A steep slope right beside the existing structure allows the new addition to be fully embedded into the terrain, preserving and protecting the farmstead's authentic appearance. At the same time, this configuration allows for the design of a different, atypical structure. Rather than being conceived as another building that formally ties into the existing structures, the new spa is designed as a self-contained underground space with its own logic and rules.

The spa thus represents the farmstead's "other space"; upon entering, the visitor steps from a natural, traditional environment into an introverted, abstract, pared-down space. A visit to the spa is intended for relaxation, rest, meditation, and cleansing. This retreat into a parallel, "underground" world enables the transition not only on a physical but also on a mental level.

The spa connects to the "world above" through two skylights and a sunken terrace. These three elements pierce the green hill between the existing farm buildings. They are shaped as abstract prisms that reflect their surroundings in a slightly distorted way. In the "world above" the new spa building is perceptible only through the spatial distortion created by these prisms. Through this disturbance in the landscape, the underground structure stirs the imagination and hints at the "other world" concealed beneath it.
