This project focuses on the architectural redevelopment of the old baths of Thermi, aiming to create a modern Thermal Center addressing contemporary demands for wellness, tranquility, and spiritual upliftment. Historical research establishes a context for understanding the timeless significance of baths in Greece, from antiquity through the Ottoman period, highlighting their therapeutic, social, and cultural dimensions.

 The architectural proposal adopts a contemporary, monolithic, and minimalist design language. Given the substantial deterioration and lack of conservation value, existing buildings will not be retained, leading to a fresh interpretive approach. The proposed design combines morphological elements inspired by historic baths with current needs and requirements, delivering a comprehensive thermal experience.

 The new Bath Center comprises twelve autonomous yet interconnected buildings, focused around user experience. The central structure, KT.1, introduces visitors to a progressive relaxation journey through reception areas, medical checkpoints, a botanical garden, and therapeutic baths. KT.2 forms the core of the experience, featuring an indoor pool accessible via catacombs, symbolically guiding visitors from darkness to light and providing diverse experiences, such as hydromassage and relaxation rooms.

 KT.3 houses the hamam, characterized by a distinctive atmosphere and specialized treatment areas. KT.4, dedicated to yoga and pilates, offers flexible spaces designed to blend seamlessly with the natural environment. KT.5 and KT.6 include Byzantine-style bath units and essential hygiene facilities, enhancing functionality and decentralizing the visitor experience.

 Overall, the design emphasizes experiential interaction through heat, water, light, and materials, promoting visitor engagement with the natural landscape. The objective is to create a balanced environment between privacy and sociability, enhancing a modern interpretation of thermal bathing.
