The Turtle
The name of this complex does not only come from the shape, but also from the purpose of the building. The basic philosophy is rooted in the long-lasting life, for which the turtles are typical. This concept then symbiotically aligns with the idea of a spa. The life of a turtle is also included in the energetic solution implemented into the building, using the natural sources of energy.
The main entrance to the building object is located in the throat of the turtle and leads directly to the communication center placed in the middle of the building, which connects all the floors in the building. In the basement of the complex is the control room with the technical maintenance center. The first floor is designed to contain offices and social events rooms. The other two floors would then be used as rehabilitation centers with medical staff rooms and accommodation for the clients.
