Remedium a dichotomy between remedy and active spaces Situated on the site’s luscious berm, the resort and spa overlook the landscape and its significant elements. As a spa resort which focuses on the health, beauty, and tranquility of the human body, the therapy rooms are introverted spaces where the users’ tactile senses are exaggerated. A dichotomy is established between ‘remedy’ spaces and ‘active’ spaces. The remedy spaces are placed in the center
of the building’s courtyard in autonomous forms which are lit solely by overhead natural lighting. The active spaces which surround the therapy courtyard are well-lit by windows which frame moments of the alluring context. To further emphasize their use as living spaces and contrast the therapy rooms, the active spaces are covered with gable roofs which also allude to rural Latvian vernacular architecture.
