Sudor Sauna

The project aims to augment the embodied experience of the saunas and pools within by providing subtle transitions that gradually create a separation between the everyday lives of visitors and the spaces within. These transitions include spatial elements such as ramps, gradations in light, and soothing materials. The design offers a focus on sensual and experiential qualities that enables visitors to be more physically present and in touch with their own body. Cesar Bejar The space provides private rooms where visitors can relax within their own small sauna, reset in cold plunge pools, and cleanse within the showers. Guests check in at an entry lobby, before proceeding to a ring of circulation that offers access to the private spaces... More

Gravity vanishes and the unexpected emerges at new wellbeing extension by noa* network of architecture

Following completion of their iconic cantilevered pool project in Hubertus, Olang, in 2016, noa* network of architecture completed an addition to the site with the completion of a new wellbeing extension. As with the original pool, gravity seems to vanish and the unexpected emerges. Alex Filz The architects sought to materialize in the extension what one sees mirrored on the surface of the pool as if it is a transient rendering ready to be converted into reality. Playing with the horizon line and the perception of being upside down, project architect Lukas Rungger explains, “The essence of this project is the overturning over horizons, with the resulting effect of wonder for the observer. If you think about it, however, cha... More
