All-glass railings for thermal spa paradise
2015, Bucharest
Without a handrail and upper end, it definitely sets design standards and is trend-setting in this area.
All-glass railings as an architectural concept
In the north of Bucharest, in the city of Balotești, Therme Bucharest offers the perfect environment to relax in a peaceful atmosphere. The special thing about this spa landscape is its unique concept: 800,000 plants, including many palm trees, are spread over 18,000 m². So it's no wonder that this is the largest botanical garden in Romania.
METALLART's all-glass railings extend over several meters in this special spa. The all-glass railings in the shape of a flower reflect the architectural concept of the wellness landscape. With no handrail or upper end, it definitely sets design standards and is trend-setting in this area. The unusual shape of the steel staircase with box stringers impresses visitors. The all-glass railings, which are also used for the stringer stairs, contribute significantly to the open and light-flooded character of the spa.
