Reconstruction of the castle's brewery cellars into a spa area with a swimming pool

The investor's task was to use the underground premises of the building as a relaxation zone with a swimming pool

- cellars are part of the castle complex, which we have been involved in
renovating since 2014.
- were built in 1731.

- we worked with great respect for everything historical and valuable.
- we considered the using of all materials very carefully - their appearance, age, processing and size were considered in relation to our space -

the space is 465.3 m2, the main mass of the space is made up of three
barrel vaults, which differ both in size and in the materials used. The
biggest problem, in addition to the insensitive 20th century modifications, was the humidity of the 3rd loggia, which is 8,96 meters underground and under the road.
- we supplemented the old sandstone and limestone with crystal
(illuminated huge slabs used on newly inserted elements)
- the black pool connects and at the same time separates all three
loggias. the water surface in combination with the dark color works as
a mirror. You can go around the pool using two wooden footbridges
at both ends of the pool.
- the overflow edge creates a constant pleasant sound of water in the
space and the demand for salt water influenced both the details of
the pool and all other parts of the interior. Evaporating salt causes
corrosion, so this fact must be taken into reflection - do not use
anything made of standard steel even when making interior elements
/ this applies to everything, including small things such as fittings,
hinges and zippers /
- we also chose black for the whirlpool bath.
- the newly laid pavement is separated from the old walls by a groove.
In addition to the light that emphasizes the uneven surface of the
walls and plaster, the groove brings air into the space, which is
subsequently extracted at the top of the vault or in the original
niches.
- the space is further illuminated by atypically manufactured lights. The
bathroom is only a purchased "string" from the company Davide
Groppi.
- strings are located in the rear loggias, which was very complicatedly
isolated and then its surface was provided with a specially prepared
metal patina.

The reconstruction affected by Covid took more than 4 years.
