The new wellness center project involved both the open spaces, with the creation of the new swimming pool in stainless steel and the reorganization of the internal spaces of the existing wellness center. The new wellness center includes a SPA and wellness area that complete the facilities already present in the structure for skin care, aesthetics, fitness, integrated with the nutrition school and the restaurant dedicated to local product. One of the peculiarities of the project is the seamless connection between the internal spaces, the external spaces and the thermal park. The design developed is minimalist, able to bring together the new structures with the naturalness of the park.

Inside the wellness center, a unique thermal shower automatically manages lights and waterfalls to reproduce the effects of a natural storm. For the swimming pools, a stainless steel construction solution was chosen, due to the absence of maintenance, the long life cycle of the material and its "neutrality" capable of restoring that turquoise-green effect of the water as it appears in nature.

The choice of materials and technologies was aimed at reducing the ecological footprint and was inspired by the principles of the circular economy: composite wood (from certified reuse), natural stone, vertical green walls (used to reduce the built surfaces, improve environmental integration and prevent "heat island"), VOC-free materials and technologies (harmful volatile emissions) are used in the project.
