The thermal baths of Thermopiles are found in the 200 km of the national road that connects Athens to Thessalonica, in the foot terms of the mountain Kallidromio. Between this natural limit and in the existing installations are organized the required spaces for the operation of baths. In this interval, is created a «container» capable to accept in his interior the various uses and the human body. A long, concrete wall fixes the extent of intervention and breaks it away from the environment of national road.
The interior of building is not organized as single space: with repeated aspects that are turned to the inside the visitor is broken away from environment space. He enters in another, foreigner with controlled escapes to the environment. The building accepts the passage of the hot water as if is directing it. In order to achieve the biggest enjoyment, the baths are drawn in such a way that is achieved overexcitement of senses. The light enters in the various rooms mainly from the openings of the roof and is engraved in the steams of the hot water. The absolute light is seldom met in the interior of building and it is used in order to it announce the beginning and the end of the root of the visitor with regard to the process of bath.
The closed units function as different loudspeakers for the sound of water that rolls in the raceway and runs along the building.
The existing concrete raceway is used as a mean of transfusion of water from the natural container where it is heated, in the container of building in order to receive the human body. Late on, the water ruptures the container, repeating the process of expense from the ground and shaping a second raceway in the level of soil. The water that comes out from the building meets in its course the water of waterfall and it is led to the sea.
