URSINA WELLNESS

The Brief: A Spa and Wellness Area of Over 300 m² in Gstaad

The client envisioned an exceptionally luxurious spa and wellness area of over 300 m², exclusively for the residents of Chalet Ursina in Gstaad. The space combines contemporary design with a full range of wellness facilities and refined materials, bringing together alpine charm and sophistication. For the pool area, the main task is to create a cozy and at the same time luxurious place to relax.

Spa Concept Design: Natural Stone, Wood, and a Wave-Inspired Ceiling

The design seamlessly blends natural materials and elegant details to create a space that exudes both comfort and exclusivity. Conceptually, the space is a synergy of wood and stone surfaces that intersect with each other, with a stone floor throughout. The wellness program includes a 14 × 5 m indoor pool, a sauna and an infrared sauna, a hammam, an ice bath, a sensory shower, a massage room, a fitness area, and a lounge bar.

In the pool area, diffused light emphasizes the graceful lines of the space. The sculptural ceiling above the pool imitates a water wave: it refracts light and visually enlarges the space, making it interactive. The edge of the pool has an overflow with a thin slit, which, together with the continuous stone finishes, creates the effect of continuity. 

What to Expect: A Private Alpine Wellness Retreat

Once completed, the spa will be a distinctive wellness space within Chalet Ursina, a private retreat that extends the chalet living experience. Residents will find wellness, fitness, and relaxation in a setting that is both contemporary and alpine. The spa is part of the Chalet Gstaad project.

This project reflects our expertise in commercial architecture and interior design, where wellness spaces are conceived to combine alpine authenticity with contemporary luxury.
