Description |
|
Located next door to
the garden of Schloß Mirabell,
Paracelsus Bad and Kurhaus is the
creation of Berger + Parkkinen
Architekten. On the architect's
website they say that it is, "....
A NEW BATH FOR THE CITY
- The Bad & Kurhaus is designed
as a 3-dimensional walk-in
landscape. The main elements of the
house form a clear vertical
stacking. The introverted pedestal
includes the spa and cloakrooms of
the bath. Above is the open
panoramic bathing area, covered by
the complex of restaurants and the
sauna area. The entire roof level is
used for the sauna complex with
spectacular outdoor pool and
uninterrupted views over the city."
"The swimming
pool looks as if the building on the
third floor was cut through and
would continue as a free space.
The materialization of the water
world is made by ceramic surfaces,
water and light, limited upwards by
the gentle forms of the ceramic wave
ceiling. The moving ceiling
landscape with different room
heights underscores the variety of
spatial and atmospheric situations."
