Portopiccolo SPA | FLOOR GRES

The concept is spread over three levels, plus a basement floor dedicated to parking and service spaces, for a total area of 3,600 square meters.

The design idea was to follow the genius loci of the cliffs overlooking the sea, alternating natural-coloured stone with the transparency of glass, making it possible to lighten the structure, merging it with the context of the surrounding gulf and opening up breathtaking views for its guests.

The focus on wellness permeates the whole structure, starting from a more collective and choral dimension, on the ground floor, and closing increasingly to intimacy and privacy as you ascend to the floors above. The entrance features an imposing covered porch, which welcomes customers and leads them inside. The building is fully glazed, providing perfect inter-connection between interior and exterior. The design had to pursue the efficiency and reliability of the solutions chosen, with particular attention to rationalising traditional energy sources and their ease of management and maintenance. It was therefore decided, wherever possible, to equip the complex with solutions which pay particular attention to reducing energy consumption by using renewable sources.
