With numerous thermal springs and known for traditions of lifestyle, health and personal care, Switzerland is home to many different types of wellness retreats built at multiple scales. These iconic spaces represent both contemporary trends in Swiss design and new cultural approaches to leisure and health.<\/p>\n<p>From light, airy halls to cool, dark escapes chiseled into mountains, the following Swiss wellness retreats are designed as sensory experiences. With a shared vein of programming, the projects have a wide range of approaches to materiality, circulation and views. While there is a wellness history in the region dating back before the Romans, new ideas are emerging on the shape, form and function of these spaces. Engaging with history by reinterpreting it, the designs build on past techniques to reinvent them.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-89906 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-118.jpg\" alt=\"Swiss Spa\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-118.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-118-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-118-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-118-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-118-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-118-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-89930 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/98789-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/98789-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/98789-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/98789-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/98789-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/98789-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/98789-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/98789-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/vals-thermal-spa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vals Thermal Spa<\/a><\/strong> by <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/peter-zumthor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peter Zumthor<\/a>, Vals, Switzerland<\/p>\n<p>The Therme Vals is a hotel and spa that combines a complete sensory experience.

The building blends in naturally between the Hotel Palace and the B\u00fcrgenstock SPA and is aligned to the north towards Lucerne. The design concept for the new hotel and its interior is based on scenes from legendary films.<\/p>\n<p>The new hotel sits prominently on the B\u00fcrgenstock rock, 875 metres above sea level. The fa\u00e7ade is clad in pale Sellenberg limestone and rises like a skyscraper above the glass base. The stone\u2019s grey-brown appearance is similar to the natural B\u00fcrgenstock rock. The materialization of the fa\u00e7ade picks up the themes of the hotel\u2019s historical background while complementing these with modern design. From a distance, the building appears to be carved out of the rock.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><p><em>Architects: Want to have your project featured?
