Playing with colors and materials

The task for Bartenbach's lighting designers was to harmoniously connect the different building zones, to guide visitors intuitively through the rooms, and to create a relaxing and inspiring atmosphere. Added to this was the desire for daylight-based planning that makes optimum use of natural light – and thus do justice to the sustainable construction of the entire building. The lighting concept of the Silvretta Therme is based on an intelligent color scheme: the lower rooms with swimming pools and bathing pools are dominated by cool shades of blue and green that invigorate, refresh, and soothe. On the higher floors and in the sauna areas, the light underlines the warm, earthy tones – and thus contributes to a harmonious and relaxing room atmosphere in which visitors can easily forget their everyday lives. Whether glass, concrete or stone:

As an architectural "cloud" whose exterior façade picks up on the lighting mood of the surroundings, the Silvretta Therme blends naturally into the Alpine landscape of Ischgl. Bartenbach's lighting concept also plays with this connection between inside and outside, between daylight and artificial light: the foyer is equipped with large glass windows that create a connection to the outside world and let in daylight. The event hall is at the heart of the project: it also has floor-to-ceiling glass windows that offer a view of the surrounding nature.

Als architektonische „Wolke“, deren Außenfassade die Lichtstimmung der Umgebung aufgreift, fügt sich die Silvretta Therme ganz natürlich in die Alpenlandschaft Ischgls ein. Auch das Lichtkonzept von Bartenbach spielt mit dieser Verbindung von Innen und Außen, von Tages- und Kunstlicht: So ist das Foyer mit großen Glasfenstern ausgestattet, die den Bezug zur Außenwelt herstellen und Tageslicht hereinlassen. Der Veranstaltungssaal ist ein Herzstück des Projekts: Auch er verfügt über bodentiefe Glasfenster, die den Blick auf die umgebende Natur freigeben.
