The project area is a green mountain land, and instead of building a closed box-like building on this land, a courtyard design was made that incorporates the land into the design. Instead of using a corner of the land, a design that spreads over the entire land was achieved by integrating with the land.Part of the land is flat and the other part is sloped. In places where there is a slope, a structure has been designed with a gradual pool and sitting on the land levels. It is aimed to provide users with a better experience by providing privacy and privatization between pools with different pools at each elevation.

The design fully integrates with the land. With its spa pools descending like a natural waterfall, it resembles the waterfalls we are used to seeing in the mountains and gives the feeling that it has always been there rather than a structure added later.The project sits on the slope of the land and is in topographic harmony with its surroundings. The project, designed in wood, is in harmony with the natural forests of Switzerland, famous for its green mountains.

The building is not a structure that disrupts the land and is settled by excavation. It is a structure designed in harmony with natural conditions, and its damage to nature is minimal in terms of sustainability. It also has a design that will reduce resource consumption and carbon emissions during construction by using the natural slope as a construction cost. The use of wood on the facade is one of the most important factors that reduce carbon emissions, and the structure was designed entirely with timber.

The building is located in the plan as a rational circle, but thanks to its staggering that fits the terrain in the third dimension, it ceases to be an ordinary circular structure and turns into a more organic design compared to circular structures. The design of the cafe area is on the upper level and in a circular design. This touch again turns the building into an organic project that meets needs rather than an ordinary two-storey structure.The design of a cascading pool, like a waterfall flowing from above, evokes the natural environment we are used to seeing.Instead of being an ordinary spa, the structure truly integrates with the land, has a design that fits the flowing nature of water, and the hot water pools create the feeling of a natural water source, like a design that flows into each other.

Totally integrated design with environment.
