旧建筑的大部分被切割和深埋在周围的地形下 ， 这也减少了它们的场地存在感 。 在Termalija家庭健身场所之中 ， 建筑师并不打算简单地重复这个策略 。 他们构思了必需的空间体量 ， 并且思考了在水面区域建筑需要多高的尺度 。 该项目并没有单纯地参照周边的自然景观 ， 而是围绕着周边传统建筑对建筑的尺度和形态进行构思 ， 从而运用到设计中 。

Previously a greater portion of the building was cut-and-filled under the surrounding terrain with each subsequent project which reduced their presence on the site. In the case of the Termalija Family Wellness however we weren't able to simply repeat this design approach. The volume of the necessary space especially in the area with water surfaces required the siting of a much larger structure which could not simply be buried below the grade. No longer being able to reference only the surrounding natural landscape the solution was found in the scale and form of the surrounding vernacular structures.
