A public square has been located in front of its main entrace ideal for festivals and public events in the open air surrounded by the natural landscape.

The spa complex contains two gradient towers, high wood structures in the tradional polish shape for this type of constructions. Its function is to increase the concentration of salt in the air, by using the wind and sun to evaporate the water inside the structures.

The two towers define in its inside a health square where to enjoy the therapeutic effects of the saline. The small salty drops that float in the air have a benefitial effect on health, similar the the air close to the sea.

The whole square is covered with a wooden structure sustained by V shaped pillars covered by climbing plants.

The spa and the gradient towers are joined by a bridge terrace, a floating walk over the saline air.
