Bath House Complex

THIS PROJECT WAS SITED IN ROME, ITALY AND LOCATED ON A PLOT OF LAND WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE ANCIENT CARACALLA BATHS.  THE  DESIGN WAS MEANT TO PROVIDE A QUIET OASIS FROM THE HOT, DRY, AND NOISY ROADS SURROUNDING THE SITE ON 2 OF ITS 3 SIDES. THE COMPLEX INCLUDES SPACE FOR A FULL BATH HOUSE, HOTEL AND SHOPPING MALL, WITH MULTIPLE LEVELS OF PRIVACY AND VARIOUS ENTRANCES DEPENDING ON WHAT A VISITOR’S PLANS FOR THE DAY ARE. THE FACADE IS SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO HAVE VARYING LEVELS OF OPACITY USING A PATTERN OF CLOUDED GLASS TO PROVIDE BOTH PRIVACY AND LIGHT DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF PROGRAM IS BEING USED.
