极乐世界这个词在希腊神话中意味着幸福的岛屿–在地球西边的一个地方,众神可以把他们的宠儿活生生地转移到那里,不朽的英雄们在那里生活在不断的春天,没有烦恼。

The word Elysium in Greek mythology meant the island of the blissful – a place on the western edge of the earth where the gods can transfer their favorites alive, immortal heroes living there in constant spring and without worries.

在设计位于布拉迪斯拉发历史中心中部的水疗中心时,我们是出于摆脱日常循环和平静下来的需要。这个空间是一个躲避外界的冥想场所。我们把城市温泉的概念建立在对空间作为身体的寺庙的认知上。参考的是历史上的公共浴室Grössling,它位于附近,为游客提供身体和灵魂的净化程序。

When designing the spa in the middle of the historical center of Bratislava, we came out of the need to break free from the daily cycle and calm down. This space is a meditative hiding place from the outside world. We build the concept of an urban spa on the perceptions of space as a temple for the body. The reference is the historical public baths Grössling, which are located nearby and provided visitors with the purifying procedures of body and soul.

通过从Grösslingova街的一个隐藏的入口,我们通过原来的石阶潜入历史建筑的地下室。在以前的地窖里,我们保留了原来的砖制拱形天花板。我们把概念建立在嵌入的物体和水磨石、砖、钴和黑色包层或木材材料的组合上。这些物体定义了自由地缠绕在整个温泉周围的间歇空间。在第二个计划中,我们用光来工作。自然的,通过现有的窗户开口或天窗进入的,在白天是动态的。

Through a hidden entrance from Grösslingova Street, we dive into the basement of a historic building via the original stone staircase. In the former cellars, we preserved the original brick vaulted ceiling. We build the concept on embedded objects and a combination of terrazzo, brick, cobalt, and black cladding or wood materials. These objects define the interspace that winds freely around the entire spa. In the second plan, we work with light. With natural, which enters through existing window openings or skylights,s and is dynamic during the day.

这种体验在每个时间和时期都是独特的。或者用人工,这是基于功能的物质,但也强调了空间的整体亲密气氛。参观极乐世界温泉应该是一种净化和放慢速度的体验之路–因此,一件艺术作品–斯坦尼斯拉夫-翁德鲁什的《运动轨迹》作为其参考而发挥作用。

The experience is unique at every time and period. Or with the artificial, which is based on the functional substance, but also underlines the overall intimate atmosphere of the space. A visit to the Elysium Spa is supposed to be a kind of experiential path of purification and slowing down – therefore an art piece – the Trajectory of Movement by Stanislav Ondruš works as a reference to it.

这个空间的好处还在于院子里的一个户外露台,那里有一个带太阳椅的移动桑拿房。这个未知的组合因此在城市和社区之间创造了一种新的关系。新的远景和新的体验。

The benefit of the space is also an outdoor terrace in the courtyard, where is a mobile sauna with sun loungers situated. The unknown combination thus creates a new relationship between the city and the neighborhood. New vistas and new experiences.
