Conti Day Spa .


Principal disposition of the different place for treatment followed a simple reason: we need, especially in a little space, square meters to use, to see free and to live without our dress!
In an unique ambient.
A step cut a sharp area where we have functions with water treatment, in this way we have two different ambient: a wet area and a dry ground, more “public” than the wet one.
Seeming kitsch is always a trap for a spa: in a corner where we search for relaxation away from the day to day routine, there is the risk of using forms and images from our subconscious in a superficial way, creating a void sense of architectural meaning.
The themes of thermae, Turkish baths and saunas are rooted in the past (in a more manifest way than others) but which today are decidedly trendy and enjoying an exceptional boom.
Why should we then renounce the opportunity to create a contemporary architecture for a spa?
We could therefore offer quotes, but this should always be done with elegance and delicateness, leaving people the liberty to imagine their diverse situations in this minute magic world of ours.
It's a work of our imagination, that follow us in this different little places, during the passage from a kind of treatment water to another one...
It is a world balanced between a starry night and the perfumes of an unknown and solitary world where we can sink into the magic of our whirlpool under a beautiful sky with diamonds...
