Fügen thermal baths by FIPE architects

A continuation or a new building? The existing building stock has an extravagant appearance as its own distinctive feature, with the wave-like roof coupled with a heterogeneous formal language. Continuing to build onto this did not seem to make sense.

The expansion of the thermal baths should instead appear to be an independent structure, and one appropriately representing the spirit of the times. Furthermore, any new addition would need to remain as simple as possible in order to avoid further overloading of the ensemble. In the context of these reflections, two clear structures are created, to the east and west, their materiality fitting in with the surrounding landscape and allowing the beauty of the surrounding mountains to penetrate the interior to the greatest extent possible. Two green spaces between the buildings give further emphasis to their independence.
