Size: 75,000sf

Project Description:

Terra Incognita means "unknown land", and it was the name first given

to Patagonia by early explorers. Abundant volcanic and geothermal

activity in this part of the world causes natural hot springs (i.e. thermal

baths) to rise to the earth's surface. The spa complex Terra Incognita is

centered around these healing and calming waters. This facility offers a

variety of thermal baths/pools, therapeutic treatments, a cafe, lounging

areas and exclusive guest accommodations. The design concept is

based on a fluid indoor/outdoor experience: to establish a dialog

between the irregularity of nature and the regularity of man-made

structure.
