"termas de tiberio" thermal baths, panticosa
The program is complex, and the municipal zoning limits require that much of the floor area be located underground, making the provision of natural light and views of the natural surroundings to the maximum area of the plan a design priority. The carving out of the building volume and the strategic location of windows serve to connect the interior spaces with the mountain landscape, giving the visitor a series of orientating cues, while the overlapping ribbons envelop and blend the spaces as they weave through the interior. On the main level are the pools and saunas, with one exterior and three interior hot pools, turkish baths, cold baths, ice baths, saunas, showers, foot baths, relaxing areas, and juice bars.
