MULTI-USE SPACE

MINERALS BY THE SEA

PROJECT SCOPE: ​A 14,000 square foot mixed use development in the Olympic Village in Sochi, Russia. This wellness spa with historic mineral bath, cafe, and retail offering was designed to serve athletes of the 33rd Olympic games with subsequent use by citizens and visitors of Sochi.

DESIGN CONCEPT: Inspired by the culture of health and wellness that has long defined Sochi, Minerals by the Sea is a center of relaxation, rejuvenation, and community. The constructivist art movement and healing powers of the historic sanatariums are reinvented for modern Sochi. The complex contrasts in Sochi serve as inspiration; the enigmatic Black Sea vs majestic Caucasus Mountains, industry vs nature, and past vs future. The power and vitality of the Olympic athlete is showcased through strong architectural lines and geometry, while the soothing palette and textures reflect the healing nature of the space. The result is a uniquely bold and inspiring spa environment designed to appeal to the Olympic athlete, and to empower spa users of all ages in their quest for vitality.
