Zarasai Leisure and Wellness Complex
We are pleased to have participated, together with architects from Wall, in the Leisure and Wellness Complex Architectural Concept Tender organised by the Zarasai District Municipality, where we took an honourable third place with our project entitled “zwiss*”.
This project coherently develops the vision of Zarasai as a picturesque resort, not only adding to the city’s system of public spaces but also expanding it. The pedestrian and bicycle paths planned on the plot harmoniously merge with the future network of walking trails connecting the Zarasai Lake educational trail with the eastern part of the city. This integration strengthens the town’s social infrastructure and creates scenic new walking routes.
The composition of the complex’s areas emphasises the axis of Zarasai’s Vytautas Street and highlights the historical part of the city. We devoted significant attention to landscaping the plot, preserving the old trees in Magučiai Forest to create natural protection and a botanical shelter for the complex grounds. We also planned additional landscaping that seamlessly transitions into the adjacent old-growth forest. Using the principles of atmospheric design, we aimed to create the atmosphere of an idyllic Swiss forest resort.
During the interwar period, Zarasai’s natural surroundings were considered an integral valuable part of the city, which is why the architecture of the complex is based on the historical concept of Zarasai as a resort. We develop this union of nature and the city in the complex, where the pitched roofs of the buildings adapt to the terrain and harmoniously blend into the environment.
We tried to ensure that the architecture of the buildings reflected the expression and materiality of the wooden architecture typical of the Aukštaitija ethnographic region. The façades are decorated with wooden panelling featuring traditional regional patterns. This multi-layered conceptual approach gives the buildings a modern yet contextually integrated architectural expression that is harmoniously connected to the city’s urban and natural fabric.
