ACRE SPA
The intervention consists of a series of wooden bridges and shading structures inserted within the void between existing constructions at Acre Hotel. Rather than occupying a single volume, the project inhabits the space between buildings, transforming absence into program.
Like an organism adhering to its host, the structure attaches lightly to the existing volumes, connecting them through elevated walkways and shaded thresholds. Timber elements filter the desert light, creating an atmosphere of shadow and relief while guiding movement through the spa.
The result is an architecture defined by connection rather than enclosure—a spatial sequence that emerges from within the gaps of the existing site.
