Portugal Vez River SPA

Located on the serene banks of the Vez River in northern Portugal, this competition invites architects to design a boutique wellness SPA that blends harmoniously with its natural surroundings. Nestled beside a historic watermill, the site offers a unique opportunity to create a space that reflects the tranquility and beauty of the region.

The goal of the competition is to inspire designs that embrace the peaceful atmosphere of the Vez River while providing a thoughtful, intimate wellness experience. Architects are encouraged to explore concepts that celebrate the connection between nature, relaxation, and design innovation, fostering a sense of balance and harmony.

This competition seeks creative and sensitive approaches that capture the spirit of the location. The resulting SPA should be a serene retreat where architecture and nature come together to offer a rejuvenating escape in one of Portugal’s most picturesque settings.

The site itself is rich in character, featuring a centuries-old watermill with a restored waterwheel and lush greenery surrounding the riverbanks. The mill, once a hub for local activity, adds a sense of history and authenticity to the project. Architects are tasked with creating a design that integrates seamlessly with this unique setting, enhancing its natural and cultural significance.
