With the aim to create a new thermal water space in the pre-existing building of the Termes Victòria Spa Hotel in Caldes de Montbui, we propose to enter the spaces created about 250 years ago and used historically for the reservoir deposits of the original thermal water and of the cooled thermal water for the use mainly curative and well-being of people. Its function of deposits had always left them hidden to the visitor and their discovery was key to deciding that it was a captivating place to show and to convert it a unique space for the enjoyment of the senses. In the spaces of the old reservoirs and also partly in the traditional bathroom gallery, the different swimming pools have been located, each with some characteristic different from the other but all of them created for the purpose of relaxing and enjoying the mineral-medicinal properties of the thousand year old thermal water.
What makes this project one-of-a-kind?
The captivating spaces created about 250 years ago and used historically for the reservoir deposits of the original thermal water, that has been converted in a unique space for the enjoyment of the senses.
