On the East side of each floor of the building is an array of rooms for overnight guests. These rooms butt up against the site’s existing rocky outcropping, creating a cave-like atmosphere within the rooms. Overnight guests can embed themselves within the rugged earth that this building clings to.
The majority of the spa extends out and over the hillside, atop a single, massive support beam. However, in other key moments - like the aforementioned basement grotto pool - the building reengages with the site’s rocky terrain. These discrete moments of material tension are discovered gradually as one explores and experiences the building’s many therapeutic amenities.
