Wellness with a secret garden in the Czech Republic Architecture 11.02.2022 Nature, as you know, heals and definitely helps relaxation and peace. Therefore, when designing the wellness complex in Senograbi in the Czech Republic, architects Jakub Heidler and Jan Kacher from Studio Reaktor connected all the spaces with a picturesque garden with ponds and wove nature into the interiors of the small pavilions of the complex. The center of the garden is a small natural lake surrounded by various types of saunas, cooling zones and a greenhouse with a relaxation room.

Externally, saunas are sheathed in wood, and rooms for cooling with cool material – fibroconcrete. The variety of interiors enhances the perception of different flavors, temperatures and music. The most significant decoration appears in the ceremonial sauna, which is used for collective recreation.
