Valis Auras Wellness Retreat
The Practice Studio_Switch Competition
2021
The Wellness Retreat creates an exclusive ecosystem that combines partially earth-bermed structures and fluid organic forms, forming music-like rhythmic spaces.
The fluidic forms break away from the rigidity of the conventional buildings in the context and redefine the formal language. At the same time, the facility seamlessly integrates with the surroundings by not having any boundaries and fences. The site is divided into the Therapy Center, Rejuvenation Center and Suites. As the terrain slopes down, buildings are inset partially into the ground. This helps maintain a contiguous visual connection to the lake and the Alps. Courtyards of various scales allow for introverted spaces, forming smaller ecosystems within the ecosystem.
