Therme Vals
Peter Zumthor
- Outline
- Based on the concept of creating a space that resembles a cave or quarry, this bathing facility is composed of layers and layers of local stone. The texture of the stones and the grass covering the roof blend the architecture into the landscape, creating a sense of oneness with nature. Visitors enjoy a unique bathing experience in the tranquility and changing light.
