Within a villa in Kurortny District, set among forests overlooking the Baltic Sea, and surrounded by a lush garden, a wing unfolds around a small wellness area that includes a pool. Through a sequence of interconnected rooms, the pool area leads to a dressing room, off which the bathroom, showers and sauna open, and finally to a massage room. The pool is also connected, by means of a spiral staircase, to the lower floor dedicated to staff and children.

The quiet and intimate atmospheres of the various spaces arise from the exclusive use of natural materials and from the intention to establish continuity with the architecture of the villa, while giving the rooms a new identity.

Nuvolato travertine flooring and iroko wood establish a material continuity throughout the spaces, while each room retains its own formal autonomy, always in dialogue with the whole.

The pool room is defined by the use of brushed Verde Venezia marble for the pool walls and edge, as well as for the top of a sideboard positioned near one of the doors opening onto the outdoor terraces.

The only one of the four walls without windows is entirely clad in marine-grade plywood veneered in iroko. Here, a door with a wooden frame and fluted glass leads to the dressing room, alongside two pre-existing niches containing a bas-relief and a sculpture set on a pedestal in Nuvolato travertine.

The dressing room constitutes the true center of this wing of the villa, the space to which all the other rooms converge. The architecture is articulated through numerous arched glazed doors that echo the language of the villa and extend its spatial continuity.

The room is defined by custom cabinets with integrated seating, whose doors are upholstered in printed fabric. The same rhythm and materials reappear in the panels that clad the lower part of the walls, while the upper section is finished in monochrome fabric, contributing to a soft and intimate atmosphere.

The wall against which the discreet vanity table is placed, the inner surface of the arch where the doors to the showers and toilet open, and the intrados of the large door leading to the pool are clad in polished green onyx, chosen to animate the natural light passing through the glazed surfaces.

The wooden ceiling is a tribute to the Japanese atmospheres cherished by the clients, introducing a note of quietness and refined essentiality.

In the sauna, the softness of the entrance arch is echoed in the rounded corners and edges of the walls, ceiling, and seating. This gesture establishes a dialogue with the small pre-existing round window, reinforcing the continuity of the lines and contributing to an intimate and enveloping space.

The toilet and showers, both very small in scale, are enhanced by Rosa Norvegia marble wall cladding, whose elegant tone envelops these intimate spaces. In the bathroom, the marble walls are paired with wooden boiserie, interrupted only by the niche that accommodates the washbasin.

Together, the spaces form a quiet architecture in which the natural character of the materials and the softness of the forms accompany a slow and intimate experience of the interiors.
