PALMA SPA & LIDO  |  MAJORCA | SPAIN

 

Manchester University Thesis Project. The site is the corner of the old city wall. The brief was open was a response to the lack of connection between the city and the sea which is currently seperated by a highway. By bringing the water into the bounds of the city walls the proposed public Lido and spa creates both a physical and visual connection to water. The brief was also influenced one of the oldest buildings in the city - the Banys àrabs  - the preserved remains of an Arab baths from the time of Moorish rule.  Rob gained a Distinction for his work.
