Natural stones are not just building materials but genuine cornerstones of design, capable of adding personality, sophistication, and uniqueness to any space. Some stones, such as Sodalite, go beyond aesthetics, imparting an exclusive character and an evocative atmosphere. For the design of a private spa in a prestigious Alpine resort, the team from “Pane, Acqua e Architettura” in collaboration with Venetian Gold, created a space of pure luxury, leveraging the extraordinary qualities of this stone.
Alongside White Macaubas quartzite, chosen for the flooring, and Azul Macaubas, used for the pool’s bottom, Sodalite has become the chromatic and visual centerpiece of the spa. A mosaic made from this deep blue mineral with white veining, also known as “Princess Blue,” runs through the relaxation area, adding a refined contrast and a touch of exclusivity.
The Relaxing Power of Sodalite
Beyond its extraordinary aesthetic beauty, Sodalite is highly valued for its beneficial properties. This mineral is widely used in meditation to enhance inner communication, access the subconscious, and encourage self-reflection. Known for promoting deep relaxation and intense regeneration, it is the perfect choice for a spa environment. Learn more about the properties of Sodalite.
In this Alpine residence, Sodalite is not merely an aesthetic choice but a key element that enhances the sensory experience. Paired with natural features such as the chestnut wood of the chaise longues, the gentle waterfalls by the pool, and a panoramic glass wall offering breathtaking views of the mountains, the stone helps create a sanctuary of peace and harmony.
Exclusive Design for a Unique Experience
The collaboration with Venetian Gold ensured the use of the highest quality materials, carefully selected to guarantee both aesthetics and functionality. Sodalite, sourced from Brazil, along with other fine stones, tells a story of contemporary design in harmony with nature. This project demonstrates how the choice of materials can transform an ordinary space into a multisensory experience.
For those seeking inspiration for their own projects, this space serves as a perfect example of how the combination of natural stones, craftsmanship, and design can create a luxurious oasis.
