Thermae Vinea Bath among the vine
A bathhouse featuring a vertical vineyard, adaptive facade, recycled water irrigation, and grape-based wellness products, integrating sustainability and innovation.
The façade system employs a space frame architecture, characterized by a lightweight, modular steel grid that facilitates both structural efficiency and expansive spans. This system integrates operable timber screens and vine-laden trellises, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. Large glazed panels rest within the frame, ensuring visual continuity, while the exposed geometry emphasizes tectonic expression, merging functionality with aesthetic precision.
