The inside and the outside are newly interpreted.

The volume is divided into the ground floor, the first floor with spa and fitness areas, and the second floor with a premium sauna and an adjacent spacious roof terrace. The landscape of the building site merges with the interior of the thermal bath. Inside and outside are newly defined on this level. The fifth facade, the roof, is an artificial landscape, which will be used as a sundeck or as a connection from the roof sauna to the natural grounds.
The ground floor is set back 12 meters from the main road, thereby creating a boulevard on one side and broadening the existing public square on the other side. This square is designated to be the main square of Bad Kleinkirchheim.
The project was completed in cooperation with Share Architects.
