Text description provided by the architects. In the heart of the Eastern Townships, perched on a mountainside and overlooking a nature reserve of breathtaking beauty lies BALNEA. Health and wellness, gourmet food, yoga, relaxation, sports, massages, rituals baths: BALNEA reinvents the art of living by creating a stunning experience for all the senses. Spa BALNEA’s new reception building, constructed on piles, is nestled unobtrusively in the forest, where it is the hub linking the facility’s existing buildings via outdoor walkways. The resulting new walking routes give clients a more private path through the site. Special attention was paid to preserving trees and the natural surroundings.

用钢建造结构的决定使其能够与自然地形一起工作，从而形成了一种非常耐用、流线型的结构，具有更自然的轮廓。这座建筑在巨大的木质体积下传达了一种轻盈的感觉，使得模块化的结构看起来就像它被轻轻地放在树中间。

The decision to build the structure from steel made it possible to work with the natural topography, resulting in a very durable, streamlined structure with a more natural profile. The building conveys a sense of lightness under the large wooden volume, making the modular structure seem as though it was gently set down amidst the trees.

这些窗户的设计目的是为森林景观提供框架，同时也利用南方的曝光率，最大限度地利用被动的太阳能采暖。新大楼使用相同的材料(木墙板、窗户和建筑围护结构)，保持与旧建筑的连续性。入口处的台阶，让人联想到一个戏院，既是入口，也是等待活动的地方。除了接待区外，Pavillon des arbres还包括礼品店、办公室和休息室。其他水疗馆，无噪音活动，提供有利于放松的环境。

The windows, designed to frame views of the forest landscape, also take advantage of a southern exposure to maximize passive solar heating. The new building maintains continuity with the older buildings through the use of the same materials (wood siding; windows and building envelope). The steps outside the entrance, reminiscent of a parvis, serve as both an entranceway and a waiting area for events. In addition to the reception area, Pavillon des arbres includes a gift shop, offices and a lounge. The other spa pavilions, devoid of noise inducing activities, provide environments conducive to relaxation.
