位于加拿大魁北克省布罗蒙乡村的BALNEA spa+réserve thermale正式宣布一处全新独特装置的启用，旨在为宾客提供更具沉浸感与焕活性的体验，在卓越的自然环境中促进放松与沉思。该项目由建筑事务所MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects设计，该事务所以其国际水准的设计表现，以及对当地景观、气候与材料文化的回应性而闻名。

BALNEA spa + réserve thermale announces the official opening of a unique new installation, designed to offer an even more immersive and revitalizing experience, promoting relaxation and contemplation amidst an exceptional natural setting. The project, set in the countryside of Bromont, Quebec, Canada, was conceived by the architectural firm MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects, renowned for its international design excellence, and cultural responsiveness to local landscapes, climate, and material culture.

自然展示的新方式
A New Way to Showcase Nature

新设施包含一座宽敞的无边界热疗池以及一个极具吸引力的休憩室，承诺带来激发感官与想象的体验。热疗池面积达670平方英尺，可容纳超过25人，提供盖尔湖的壮阔全景，是沉静放松与沉思冥想的理想之所。休憩室则邀请宾客放松身心、脱离日常，同时双足沉浸在细沙中，氛围仿若置身沙滩。

This new installation, featuring a spacious infinity thermal bath and an inviting relaxation room, promises an experience that awakens the senses and imagination. The thermal bath, with its 670 sq ft area and capacity for over 25 people, offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Lake Gale, creating a space conducive to deep relaxation and contemplation. The relaxation room invites guests to unwind and disconnect, while sinking their feet into fine sand and an atmosphere reminiscent of a beach.

“These new installations represent a perfect blend of innovation, sustainable practices, and architectural excellence. Every detail has been designed to awaken the senses and enhance the well-being of our guests. We aimed to offer a unique, immersive, generous, and authentic experience inspired by the richness of the surrounding nature,” said Denis Laframboise, President of BALNEA spa + réserve thermale.

此项目为自2023年春季启动的大型扩建计划的一部分，获得魁北克省旅游部旅游业复苏援助计划（PARIT）的资金支持。

This marks the latest milestone in a significant expansion project initiated in spring 2023, supported financially by the Quebec Ministry of Tourism under the Tourism Industry Recovery Assistance Program (PARIT).

与自然和谐共生的建筑
Architecture in Harmony with Nature

该项目在材料和形态上呼应周边自然环境。水疗中心的混凝土体量仿若从地貌中“生长”而出，呼应阿巴拉契亚山脉的天然岩石质感。这一结构形成了支撑新热疗池及扩展水疗露台的台基。

The project references the surrounding natural environment through its materiality and form. The concrete volume of the spa emerges from the landscape, referencing the texture and natural rock of the Appalachians. The form creates a plinth to support the new thermal bath, and expanded spa terraces.

MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects创始合伙人Brian MacKay-Lyons补充道：“新设的宽阔热疗池及水疗露台将整体方案更牢固地嵌入自然地景之中。天然材料的使用强化了‘自然中的水疗’这一概念，同时为用户带来丰富的触觉体验。”

“The generous new thermal bath and spa terrace grounds the scheme within the landscape. The use of natural materials enhances the reading of the “spa in nature”, while offering a wide range of haptic user experiences,” added Brian MacKay-Lyons, Founding Partner of MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects.

宏大愿景的开端
A Project Larger Than Life

自2023年4月起，BALNEA便启动了其广泛的生态扩建工程，以实现自身的远景目标，同时为将于2025年10月迎来20周年庆典做准备。今年夏天将继续推进工程，包括增加更衣室，而至2025年初还将扩建并升级Beatnik酒店，客房数量将翻倍。尽管在施工期间酒店将部分保持开放，正式启用仪式预计将在2025年夏季举行。

In April 2023, BALNEA embarked on an extensive eco-friendly expansion project to realize its vision, as the establishment prepares to celebrate its 20th anniversary in October 2025. The work will continue this summer with the addition of extra changing rooms and iearly 2025 with the expansion and upgrade of the Beatnik Hotel, doubling its number of rooms. While the hotel will remain partially open during the renovations, the official inauguration is scheduled for summer 2025.

该项目体现出对生态环境的尊重，这一理念也贯穿于MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects及其他参与方的协作中。例如，新建露台的供热系统利用机房余热加热；废水处理系统被迁移至远离敏感生态区域的位置；过滤系统也得到了优化，处理能力提升三倍，而设施体积仅扩大一倍。从长期看，超过20,000平方英尺的建筑将被保留并翻新，以最大程度利用资源并重用材料。

The project is part of an environmentally conscious approach, a vision shared by MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects and the many partners involved. For example, the new terraces are heated by recovering heat from the mechanical rooms, and the wastewater treatment system has been moved away from sensitive areas. Additionally, the filtration system has been optimized, tripling its treatment capacity while only doubling the size of the installations. In the long term, over 20,000 square feet of buildings will be preserved and renovated, maximizing resource use and material reuse.
