SHARE PROJECT

Spa location is situated at the junction of existing spa complex Radenci with beautiful natural vicinity of Mura river beside flood barrier. We incorporated natural resources in landscape design of spa complex:

• We line new pools in manner, that they optically and fizicaly bind water surfaces which flows towards intirety and further to nature along axis of existing swimming pool in Therapy object, …
• Design of building originates out of traditional oblique of spa well pavilion: transparent building based on square with octagonal constructional scheme.

Square is placed diagonally on existing Therapy in axes of its swimming pool so that they form spatial entirety. At the pavilion entrance – against diagonally placed popped connection axis – in rockery spring of pool water runs in space in shallow stream into the main pool, where formed into untamed stream (therapy program) spills to outer pool.

Construction of pavilion consists of eleven circular peripheral pillars with inner string of eight in pool shell standing dome baring pillars. Light roof construction, made of combined pylons: glued laminated wood and stainless steel breaded cables tension-ed through stainless steel spacing pipes. Copper plated roof has lift-able air-conditioning dome on top.

Facade is glazed in four horizontal stripes – 160cm high – each of wich has a higher escalation of green shade. It’s supporting construction is on the outer side of object
