Tamina thermal baths, Bad Ragaz Switzerland



I have just come back from a trip to Switzerland, where I re-discovered the stunning architecture of Zurich-based Smolenicky & Partner Architecture. Smolenicky renovated the Tamina thermal bath at the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz on site where Europe's first indoor hot baths were opened in 1871. Situated deep in the romantic Tamina canyon, the Spa design features include grand twelve metre arches and floor to ceiling oval windows. An extensive amount of glass and shades of soft whites, blues and blacks have been used together. Tamina Therme's architecture is likely to become an emblem for the Spa village Bad Ragaz and another showcase for Swiss architecture.
