Botha tried to artificial means or change the
situation in a certain balance in order to seek a
new balance. Therefore, with the square and
circle formation of the pure geometric forms is
the basic elements of his architecture.
21
Philosophy

• He show respect for topographical conditions and
  regional sensibilities and his designs generally
  emphasize craftsmanship and geometric order.
  Because he attempts to reconcile traditional
  architectural symbolism with the aesthetic rules
  of the Modern Movement
• His design elements are
• Modernism
• Symbolism
• Regionalism
• Culture
• Light
• Vernacular material
• Diagonal axis
• Spaces of poetry
• Geometry
• Revive an old Transformation
• Topography
• Social environment
• He believes that architecture acts as a mirror of
  its time

Wellness centre Berg OaseArosa ,
Switzerland2003-2006
Project               2003Commissioned
by                      Grand Hotel
Tschuggen
Area                5,300 m²Volume            
 27,000 m³ The concept of the value of feeling
good and taking care of yourself and of others
has remained unchanged since the days of ancient
philosophy. Today it is backed up by new
technologies that offer us a range of different
services from the sauna to different types of
massaging tubs. The aim of all this is to create
a setting of great emotional content focusing on
the common theme of water. ?.
23
Nestled in a basin at the foot of the Weisshorn
mountain in the Swiss Alps is the Berg Oase
wellness centre a health spa linked to the
five-star luxury Tschuggen Grand Hotel in the
resort village of Arosa.
24
Design concept
We imagined to build without building, to assert
the presence of the new through the emergent
parts and to leave interred the great volume
with the functional program. The cover of the
hypogeal spaces becomes a stage marked by
geometric vegetal presences that rouse the
visitor curiosity. This particular context
therefore suggested us an intriguing solution, of
visual impact and, above all, of great respect
for the surrounding village. The great volume
disappears into the earth only the vegetal and,
at the same time, mechanical antennas emerge,
marking the recreational and collective character
of the structure.

Design concept
The inner space appears as a terraced continuum
with the slope to limit the excavation works The
different areas of Berg Oase are characterized by
their interrelation and by their privileged
relationship with the environment through
technological trees that guarantee natural light
and an extraordinary sight towards the landscape
as well as becoming signals of the internal life
at night through the artificial lighting that
gives to the whole resort a magic atmosphere. The
external spaces (sauna, solarium, swimming pool)
are reachable directly from the swimming pools
and set on a attractive terracing, dipped into
nature.
27
Design concept
The external spaces (sauna, solarium, swimming
pool) are reachable directly from the swimming
pools and set on a attractive terracing, dipped
into nature. The new structure is accessible
through a glass walkway from the existing hotel
as well as (for the external visitors) from the
entrance level to the hotel. The new building,
beyond the unbuilt space" of the "leaves",
resolves the relationship with the existing hotel
and the ground through a great wall in natural
stone. The external public space is therefore
redesigned in order to create a cosy atmosphere
and to solve the car parks problem thus
discreetly integrated in the plan.

• THE INTERIOR SPACE IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR FLOORS
• . The ground floor houses most of the
  fitness facilities, part of the technical area
  and the wardrobe for external users who have
  direct access to this floor.
• The first floor accommodates the technical areas
  and the treatment spaces swimming pool technical
  area, cabins for body treatment and beauty
  cabins, solarium, hairdresser, shop, toilette,
  depots.
• On the second floor are located the connection
  glass bridge between the Tschuggen Hotel and the
  wellness centre, the reception, the staff spaces,
  the wardrobes for the users, the toilettes, and
  the sauna world with relax area.
• The third floor houses the water world with
  swimming pool to swim and relax, the toilettes,
  the relax area, depots.

MATERIALS

• The building is made of a combination of Canadian
  Maple and duke white granite, used to clad the
  interior walls, floors (including the bridge
  floor), showers and pool, and also for the
  stairway.
• Marble and granite treated stone to protect it
  from water and chlorine.
• Care was taken to use natural minerals rather
  than synthetic chemicals for this process as the
  granite was to be used in a health and wellness
  environment. The stone also helps to create an
  atmosphere that combines the sanctity of a temple
  and that of a mountain cave.
• Canadian maple triangular skylights provide the
  optimum level of acoustics which mute interior
  noise and encourage quiet and a feeling of calm.

The underlying intention of the design for the
TCS Offices is to present a monolithic element
hollowed out on the inside and open towards the
city.
As a single volume, the construction enhances the
features of the site, accentuating the existing
landform and making it an integral part of the
construction, both formally and materially
40
Botta's architectural language

• Classical symmetrical layout,
• Simple geometric shape,
• Closed and thick walls,
• skylight.
