NARZISSEN BAD
AUSSEE:

❖ Architect: Schultz Architektur

❖ Area : 6641 m²
❖ Year : 2013
❖ City : Bad Aussee
❖ Country : Austria
 Layout of Resort
Embedded in the breath taking mountain landscape of the Salzkammergut, the new thermal resort
“Narzissenbad Aussee” is located in Austria´s geographical heart and well-known recreational area Bad
Aussee. Building tradition and modernity are combined to a contemporary architecture representing a
mixture of domestic materials and new expressive design. The accentuated difference in height refers to the
surrounding landscape that is defined by its characteristic mountains. Depending on the point of view, the
shape of the circumferential structure is designed to act as a continuation of the alpine skyline or to stand out
as an independent, topographical point.

The centrepiece of the resort is a brine grotto which
was symbolically shaped as a salt crystal to underline
the theme of brine itself. The interior design of the
swimming complex combines the picturesque nature
of the “Ausseerland-Salzkammergut” with the themes
of salt and brine.

SORDO MADALENO
ARQUITECTOS CONCEPT:
A series of configuration studies helped determine that the architectural

solution should be based on a branching system. Each branch is translated

as a route to access the rooms, which runs parallel to the slope of the hill.

The housing units move at an angle of 23 degrees of opening. The angles

between each branch were designed to be open enough for any room to

maintain an uninterrupted visual connection with the Sea of Cortez.

In spite of providing direct views towards the ocean, peripheral views

of other rooms are still presented, which breaks the feeling of privacy

and isolation within the nature of the place - a condition that was

sought for this project. To create the sensation of zero interruptions

within the landscape, a smooth, wavy surface was designed that

integrates each room into a single formal organic gesture, which

gradually separates and reconnects with the landscape.

 Plan of Resort
Chablé is a growing group of ultra-luxury spas and
resorts that has won multiple awards in recent years for a
formula focused on leveraging its context to achieve a
specific experience of each place. With this in mind, they
contacted the Mexican office Sordo Madaleno
Arquitectos to design a headquarters in the Sea of
Cortez. The project entitled, Chablé Sea of Cortez is
located on land that consists of an undeveloped beach
located between two hills that overlook the ocean with
elevated views and direct access to a main road south of
La Paz. This covers a total of 64,912 square meters.
The masterplan's solution was based on placing half of
the units in the rooms on each hill to have uninterrupted
views of the ocean; the lobby and beach services are
located in the valley a short distance from the coast;
operational services near the main road; and the spa
right in the middle of the beach and the main road,
oriented inland. Of the 50 units required, the rooms are
divided into standard with 120 m2, double villas of 409
m2 and the Villa Real of 500 m2. In addition, an
important spa is included, as well as other amenities:
restaurants, event space and boutique. This program,
together with the administrative services, Wellness Villas
PLAN
and branded residences, total a total of 15,767 m2.

SUSTAINABILITY
 DEFINITION OF
“SUSTAINABILITY”:

- Definition of “ Sustainability” : Sustainability is a concept called

the biological environment of a variety of living organisms, and the
natural factors that maintain their existence for the longest
possible period of time. On the continuation of life, and among
other definitions of the concept of sustainability is that it is a set of
vital processes that provide the means of life for living organisms
of all kinds, which helps them to maintain the succession of their
generations, and develop the means of their growth over time.
