The theme of this project is to challenge the traditional understanding of interior as a mere space surrounded by architecture and to propose a new interpretation of interior design. It is argued that interiors should be seen as spaces that are independent of architecture and have their own identity and significance. Interior design should be approached as a separate discipline with its own methods, theories and practices. The project represents a response to postmodernist criticism of architecture and its limited focus on the exterior of buildings.
The idea of revealing the layering of the interior space refers to the process of discovering hidden dimensions and revealing the complex relationships between interiors and the people who inhabit them. Guided by Getoc’s (Benoît Goetz) undivided space and dislocation, we came to the idea that the space, as such, is located below the ground floor level, i.e. the inner courtyard of the city block at Kralja Petra 28. The SPA center imposed itself as a need in the given context, and the use of natural light and visual effects, she created a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. Open courtyard spaces allow air and light to circulate and provide a sense of connection with the outside environment. Also, the concept of undivided space can be read through the design of elements and spaces within the SPA center that are part of elements one continuous flow.
