Client Notes
Cascada Hotel & Spa is conceptually built upon nine pillars of wellness for both people and planet; fitness, food, hydrotherapy, building, furnishings, food, biophilia, art, and experiences. This is a place where guests can stay, restore themselves in natural hot springs, and take part in experiences designed wholly to support physical, mental, and social wellbeing.
Designer Notes
The form is based on a shifting warehouse scheme, a gesture to industry in motion, but softened and shaped by the forces of erosion and flow. The building will house over 100 hotel suites, a hydrothermal spa with indoor and outdoor spaces, ground-floor retail, conference and co-working facilities, and essential back-of-house functions. At its core is a commitment to creating the healthiest environment possible—both in terms of sustainability and human wellness. Materials are carefully selected: no petroleum-based products are used, all furnishings are vegan, and biophilic design principles guides both layout and finish. Natural elements like obsidian, basalt, concrete, and timber are left as honest as possible, emphasizing their texture, thermal properties, and connection to the surrounding volcanic terrain.
