The Design

About Termalija Family Wellness Les Piscines

Termalija Family Wellness est le dernier de la série de projets qu'Enota a construit à Terme Olimia au cours des quinze dernières années et conclut la transformation complète du complexe thermal. Vue de loin, la forme, la couleur et l'échelle de la nouvelle structure groupée de volumes tétraédriques est une continuation de la grappe des bâtiments ruraux environnants, s'étendant visuellement au cœur du complexe. Le nouveau toit agit comme une grande ombre d'été et n'usurpe aucun des précieux espaces extérieurs.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The seemingly complex geometry gives the new roof static strength, allowing the entire pool space to be covered virtually without supports. In this way, the new roof floats above the pool platform, which is designed as an exterior space. Numerous skylights in the roof, together with the ability to fully open all the facade glass surfaces, enable the guests to seamlessly pass through the interior of the building. Despite its size and the space it occupies, the new roof simply acts as a big summertime sunshade and does not usurp any of the precious exterior space.
Dimensions & Packaging: Size: 8.780 m2
Site: 10.200 m2
Footprint: 3.930 m2
Tags: Wellness, swimming pools, family spa, wood, natural, parametric, roof, architecture, rural, green
Production Technology: Fabrication techniques :
- combination of concrete and steel, building mostly underground with structural glazing and double cladding facade,
- large span roof construction from light steel framework,
- supporting tethraedical domes made of laminated wooden panels,
- structural glazed facade with large scale pivoting windows,
- pool plaza, designed in the same manner for outdoor and indoor pools – concrete base, cladded with Pebbletech finish, enabling complicated organic shapes.
Inspiration: Termalija Family Wellness is the latest in the series of projects which we have built at Terme Olimia in the last fifteen years and concludes the complete transformation of the spa complex. A lot of effort was invested into designing the buildings in such a way that they don't fill the space but connect it even more with the surrounding nature. The volume of necessary space required siting of a larger structure which couldn´t simply be buried below the grade like in our previous projects on the site. No longer being able to reference only the surrounding natural landscape, the solution was found in scale and form of surrounding vernacular structures. Large roof above water area was divided into sets of smaller segments to prevent its scale from overwhelming the surroundings. Viewed from a distance, the shape, colour, and scale of new clustered structure of tetrahedral volumes is a continuation of the cluster of surrounding rural buildings, which visually extends into the heart of the complex.
Project Duration: The project started in 2016 and was constructed in May 2018 in Podčetrtek, Slovenia.
