Elysium 水疗中心丨斯洛伐克布拉迪斯拉发丨Studio GRAU architects

在希腊神话中，“Elysium”一词对应着西方尽头的“极乐世界”，在这里，众神体验生活的欢愉，不朽的英雄在四季如春的气候里无忧度日。

The word elysium in Greek mythology meant the island of the blissful – a place on the western edge of the earth where the gods can transfer their favorites alive, immortal heroes living there in constant spring and without worries.

▼项目概览，overview

水疗中心位于布拉迪斯拉发的历史中心，是一处摆脱日常让人平静下来的空间，也是一个远离世外的冥想之地。设计将“空间作为身体殿堂”的理念发展为城市水疗中心的概念，从附近历史悠久的 Grössling 公共浴场汲取灵感，为人们提供了身体和灵魂的净化程序。

When designing the spa in the middle of the historical center of Bratislava, we came out from the need to break free from the daily cycle and calm down. This space is a meditative hiding place from the outside world. We build the concept of an urban spa on the perceptions of space as a temple for the body. The reference is the historical public baths Grössling, which are located nearby and provided visitors with the purifying procedures of body and soul.

通过 Grösslingova 街上一个隐秘的入口，从原始石楼梯拾级而下，人们将潜入一座历史建筑的地下室。设计保留了原有地下空间的砖砌拱形天花板，通过嵌入式构件、水磨石、砖、钴、黑色涂料以及木材的组合重构了概念，通过丰富的材料定义了整个水疗中心自由蜿蜒的空间。

Through a hidden entrance from Grösslingova Street, we dive into the basement of a historic building via the original stone staircase. In the former cellars, we preserved the original brick vaulted ceiling. We build the concept on embedded objects and a combination of terrazzo, brick, cobalt and black cladding or wood materials. These objects define the interspace that winds freely around the entire spa.

此外，设计注重光环境的营造，通过现有开窗及天窗引入了自然光线，使空间在白天充满活力。光在不同时间和季节带来了独一无二的体验。

In the second plan, we work with light. With natural, which enters through existing window openings or skylight and is dynamic during the day. The experience is unique at every time and period.

人造物与家具的精心安排更突显了整体的亲密气氛。Elysium 水疗中心旨在为客人提供净化心灵、放慢速度的体验之旅，设计以艺术家 Stanislav Ondruš 作品中的运动轨迹为参考，将空间本身打磨成一件艺术品。

Or with the artificial, which is based on the functional substance, but also underlines the overall intimate atmosphere of the space. A visit to the Elysium Spa is supposed to be a kind of experiential path of purification and slowing down – therefore an art piece – the Trajectory of Movement by Stanislav Ondruš works as a reference to it.

庭院中的户外露台赋予空间更多魅力，人们可以在设置有日光躺椅的开放桑拿房中休息。经过改造，全新的水疗空间与城市和社区建立起新的联系，也带来了新的风景和新的体验。

The benefit of the space is also an outdoor terrace in the courtyard, where a mobile sauna with sun loungers is situated. The unknown combination thus creates a new relationship with the city and the neighborhood. New vistas and new experiences.
