“Bagni Romani” was a SPA complex located in the center of the city. Specifically required by the Clients to create a special SPA that would bring the style back to the old Roman Empire Thermal baths, the overall complex was distributed into a total of 5 levels plus basement.

Our studio decided to recreate the atmosphere of a ancient roman bath by using a lot of hand-made “fresco” decorations on the walls, showing the rural atmosphere of a roman “thermae”. Also, the use of ancient mosaics and at the same time roman travertine, the most popular marble used during these period of history by romans, helped to re-create the sense of entering a real authentic roman bath.

Ground floor was the main entrance with a small bar on the left for guests. A glass circle was designed in the middle of the floor, in order to bring natural light down in the basement area, right in the middle of the pool area.

In fact the basement was designated to be the “water” area, with swimming pools, Jacuzzi, massage cabinets, a special “salt” room entirely made by salt blocks to help breathing, plus showers in mosaics and a dining room for guests.

Level 2 and 3 were the hotel rooms, in case guests decided to remain for few days. Level 4 was for suites (each one had its own individual small pool). Level 5 had a terrace with bar on top.
