FUNCTION MEETS DESIGN: ACOUSTIC SOLUTIONS FROM TROLDTEKT Author and photos Olaf Wiechers Troldtekt GmbH, DE – 22763 Hamburg, www.troldtekt.com Contact
Architecture, design and building materials can be important for body and soul. Factors such as light, air and acoustics can be just as relevant as the layout and design of the rooms. When function and design are sensibly combined, this can make a huge difference to well-being. Successful examples can be found at the Paracelsus-Therme spa in Bad Liebenzell and at the Schwaketenbad swimming pool on Lake Constance. Time out from everyday life with a view of the Nagold valley Located in the heart of the sweeping resort park surrounding the spa and health resort town of Bad Liebenzell in the northern Black Forest, the thoroughly refurbished Paracelsus-Therme with its „Sauna Pinea“ offers regeneration and relaxation to perfection. Nestling in the picturesque Nagold valley, the modern thermal spa, which went into operation in 1968 with an indoor swimming pool and has continued to evolve ever since, has a varied bathing landscape with indoor and outdoor areas. In addition to an outdoor pool with a whirlpool cove and a waterfall, an island of fragrances, a sun terrace with a fantastic view of Liebenzell Castle and invigorating brine inhalation, guests also have a varied and spacious sauna area at their disposal. Oasis of tranquillity close to nature The architect Markus Beyer in Bad Liebenzell has impressively succeeded in creating a real oasis of tranquillity and a special ambience for sauna users. The ingeniously designed Natur & Paracelsus relaxation room on the third floor offers an un54
paralleled view of the unique scenery of the Nagold valley thanks to large window fronts. Guests can make themselves comfortable on rocking or heated loungers, retreat to cosy lounging shells or recliner islands and relax from stressful everyday life in the fireside reading corner, truly switch off and let their thoughts run free. Award-winning excellence Good acoustics and design can be combined perfectly with Troldtekt. This is demonstrated by the above example, in which the Troldtekt Curves variant of Troldtekt‘s new design solutions was used. The design solutions were honoured with an ICONIC Award 2019 and a German Design Award 2020. When bathing becomes an adventure People in Konstanz, the largest town on Lake Constance, had been eagerly awaiting the opening of the new Schwaketenbad, which had to be completely rebuilt after a devastating fire in 2015. In the meantime, there is unanimous agreement that the biggest adventure pool on Lake Constance has lost none of its original charm – on the contrary. sb 3/2022
