Larice
A spa complex · restrained Swiss luxe
A private spa complex for a residence in the spirit of restrained Alpine luxe. “Larice” means larch — warm wood, natural stone and soft daylight gathered into a quiet ritual of rest.
A two-level indoor pool clad in book-matched natural stone slabs, with soft turquoise-green water; rows of fluted walnut screen-columns and a slatted wood ceiling; honed stone walls and a live fire. A full bathing circuit: hammam, Finnish sauna, Russian banya, a zone of showers and a plunge pool, a massage room, a spa bar, a gym and a relaxation lounge. Here luxury is not glare but the quality of material: wood, stone, linen, water and light.
The indoor pool of the residence
Here luxury is not glare but the quality of material: a two-level pool of book-matched natural stone slabs with soft turquoise-green water, fluted walnut screen-columns, a slatted wood ceiling and a live fire.
The pool
The two-level basin is clad in book-matched natural stone slabs, and the soft turquoise-green water catches daylight from tall windows. At the far end honed stone with a live fire and loungers, fluted walnut screen-columns rise to the sides, and a slatted wood ceiling runs overhead.
The lounger zone
Loungers on warm stone by the live fire, linen and wool, greenery in stone planters — a quiet resting zone on the upper level, turned to the water.
Walnut, stone, greenery
The luxury reads in the details: fluted walnut screens, a slatted wood ceiling, honed stone and living greenery in stone planters — a warm, tactile matter without a gram of gold.
Hammam, sauna, banya, showers
The heart of the spa is a full bathing circuit: a hammam with warm stone, a Finnish walnut sauna, a Russian banya and a shower zone with a plunge pool, tied together by a single warm material.
The hammam
Warm honed stone, soft diffused light and silence — an Eastern steam room in a restrained, expensive execution.
The Finnish sauna
Walnut, warm light and the laconic geometry of the benches, a panoramic window to nature — dry heat in a calm Alpine shell.
Massage room, spa bar, gym, lounge
A spa is not only water and steam: the massage room, the spa bar, the gym and the relaxation lounge complete the circuit of body care in the same warm Alpine palette.
When the light turns warm
At sunset the spa opens differently: the golden hour floods the water and stone with warm light, the walnut warms, the turquoise softens — the restrained Alpine luxe becomes utterly intimate and enveloping.
Here luxury is not glare but the quality of material: wood, stone, linen, water and light.

From design to a finished interior: an authorial project, working drawings with the engineering of the pool and bathing zones, design supervision and procurement of stone, wood, light and equipment — including Italian factories. It all begins with a mood and a material palette — as in this project.
