ON NATURAL
Milan
wellness center
1997
A highly detailed project for a typology that requires great attention, perhaps more than others, with solutions that are also technical, not just functional or image-oriented. As always, the planimetric design is carefully orchestrated, deftly distributing the various spaces along a corridor, offering access with fluid lines that compress and expand the connection spaces; as in other projects, the existing pilasters are not concealed, but underscored with a cylindrical housing; the materials utilized are carefully selected, with warm wood forming a contrast against the dark surfaces of the floor, the glassy look of the horizontal walls, the reflecting sheen of the suspended ceilings. The rooms for beauty treatments, also designed in their construction details, have doors with holes similar to typical keyholes, but larger: an invitation for voyeurs, perhaps.
