The functional-renovation intervention of the Garboli Hall fits into a wider intervention plan involving the whole area of the Terme di Chianciano, Parco Fucoli, Sorgente Sillene and Stabilimento Acqua Santa.

The project is structured through a “spiral” path that develops itself along the three levels of the building, in which the five elements (water, fire, earth, air, ether) are to be found. The purpose is the realization of a building in which it is possible to balance the energies of one’s own body through the Sensory Path that the different environments put on the stage, each one with an own peculiarity.

Il project concept, worked out in cooperation with a team of experts made available by the customer, originates from the Ayurvedic medicine that has an holistic vision of the man, i.e. sees the human being as made up by mind, body and spirit and whose psycho-physical well-being is given by the energy-field balance of such elements. As a consequence, illness is nothing more than an unsolved energy unbalance.

The paths in the “SENSORY SPA” project are composed basing on a rebalancing action of the human energy field through the harmony of the 5 elements. The paths start from the most material part until the slightest one is reached through the sequence: WATER, FIRE, EARTH, AIR, ETHER.
