Smolenicky & Partner's design for the Tamina Therme, a new spa at the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz

阿尔卑斯山伟大的度假酒店在斯摩利尼基的帮助下，继续他们的当代复兴。

A slice of Baroque for the digital epoch, the Tamina Therme was conceived by the Zurich-based architects as a 'forest'

The white-painted columns create a richly atmospheric interior, almost Moorish in its intricacy

The forest metaphor is continued towards the outside of the baths, where supports are removed (or 'felled', in the architects' words)

Externally, the baths take the form of a grand pavilion, with the 'formally fanciful oval windows'

The effect is a quasi-neoclassical façade that frames the surrounding landscape

Inside, the ovals are imitated by the slight curve of the vast wooden supports, which reflect off the surface of the pools

Teamed with a marble flooring, the white wood and water create a dramatic interior

The baths stand alongside the new hotel, designed by Hilmer & Sattler and Albrecht Architects, both structures set within the relatively tight site on the edge of Bad Raga
