It Untwerp

Oer Arctic Aurora Spa-tasoarchplak

De Arctic Aurora is in duorsume spa, badhûs en gastetasoarchplak dat lyt yn it mineraalrike plattelân fan Bergen. Mei ynspiraasje út it noarderljocht liedt it ûntwerp it omlizzende lânskip nei in rêstich ynderlik hillichdom troch syn floeibere, streamende foarm. Festige troch in ienfâldige rûne geometry dy't wetter frij troch it hiele gebou bewege lit, ferskoot it programma stadichoan fan iepenbiere nei partikuliere funksjes.

Unike Eigenskippen: The Arctic Aurora Spa Rertreat is an eco-friendly spa, bathhouse, and guest retreat set in Bergen's mineral-rich countryside. Inspired by the aurora in the Arctic sky, the design filters the external world into an inner sanctuary through a fluid, flowing form. Following a simple circular geometry which allow water to flow freely throughou the building, the function gets increasingly private. The spatial expression also transitions from an open and communal to an intimate human-scale space.
Ofmjittingen & Ferpakking: 80m x 80m x 10m
Labels: Bathhouse, Arctic, Landscape, Water, Concept, SPA, Retreat,
Produksjetechnology: The building's structure is made of cross-laminated timber sourced from local forests, ensuring sustainability and a strong connection to its surroundings. The exterior walls are finished with white-dyed clay, while the roof and opaque walls incorporate high-performance vacuum insulation to enhance thermal efficiency. In areas with storefront glazing, triple-glazed insulated glass units (TGUs) provide excellent acoustic, thermal, and energy performance. For mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, a geothermal pump is utilized for heating, further reinforcing the project's commitment to energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Untwerpútdaging: Architectural tectonics and technology present the primary challenge, particularly in achieving energy efficiency and thermal performance under arctic conditions. Innovative materials such as TGU (triple-glazed laminated glass units) and vacuum-insulated panels have been explored to optimize thermal insulation, ensuring both environmental performance and thermal comfort within the bathhouse.
Undersyk: The project is rooted in the study of circulation and the spatial negotiation between public and private realms. The program of the bathhouse, encompassing lounge areas and gathering spaces, acts as a mediator along the gradient from intimate, secluded experiences to more communal, shared encounters.
Ynspiraasje: The project is inspired by the aurora in the Arctic sky. It embraces the concepts of fluidity and flow, allowing water to move continuously throughout the bathhouse. The circulation path and function follow this natural movement, shaping the building into a circular form.
Projektdoer: The project started in December 2021 in Bergen, Norwary
Operaasjestreamferrin: The site is nestled in the rural landscape of Bergen, where the architectural composition is organized around a central atrium. Both circulation and thermal baths are choreographed along the perimeter of this opening, establishing a spatial sequence that blurs the boundary between interior and exterior. The stark contrast between the enclosed spaces and the surrounding nature, while maintaining a constant visual connection, offers guests a heightened sensorial experience.
