Earth Spa

Mizzi Studio have designed an eco spa for a client in Dorset. The spa is designed to mimic a natural hillock in order to sit harmoniously within it’s bucolic Dorset country setting.

The hill the sits on the edge of a naturally filtered pool seemingly peels up at the edges to reveal a timber facade. The two interlinking domes rise out of the earth and are insulated by their grass roof, which returns the grassland to the natural habitat and welcomes visitors to step-up and enjoy the views from atop. The gently undulating. The the CLT construction and shingle clad, 99% timber build aims for carbon neutrality, utilising the earths insulation, photovoltaic panels, ground source heat pumps and heat recovery systems to feed the spa facilities.
