La Spa Suite is an innovative wellness-hospitality concept located in Widen, a serene town close to Zurich. Spanning 160 sqm, this exclusive suite is meticulously designed for couples, with the SPA experience taking center stage. The concept draws inspiration from the lush forests of Switzerland and the urban landscapes adorned with historic fountains, where precious waters flow. The aim is to evoke an intimate walk through nature, materializing visual and emotional sensations through interplays of light, sound, and textures.

The project consists of two floors: the ground floor hosts a welcome area, master suite, and an intriguing spa path, while the basement floor features a treatment room, wine tasting area, and home cinema.

The primary challenge of the design was to ensure sustainability and reversibility of the project, achieved through minimized demolitions, custom furniture, divisors instead of rigid walls, and an elevated platform in a wooden structure, all accommodating the technical installations within. This approach allowed for the creation of privacy while preserving fluidity between spaces, fragmenting perspectives, and enriching visual experiences.
