Architecture & Construction
The spa house in the forest combines traditional colonnades with the natural aesthetics of the woodland. The structure features a delicate timber and glass architecture with slender roundwood columns, glued laminated timber beams, load-bearing solid timber interior walls, and stacked timber panel ceilings. The façade is clad in larch wood, allowing the building to blend harmoniously into its surroundings.
Use & Special Features
The building serves both as a visitor center and event venue. Its architecture creates a transparent connection between interior and exterior spaces, defines sheltered zones, and integrates seamlessly into the forest landscape.
