WELLBEING WITH GILDED DOORS
Old and new, incomplete and finished, stone
and metal... The red ribbon of an oxymoronic
site with a unique history was cut in the spring
of 2023 in Nancy - that of Nancy Thermal, a 2XL
establishment dedicated to wellbeing, set in the
heart of Parc Sainte-Marie. Started in 1917
and completed in 2023, it attracts visitors as much
for its sleek lines as for its exceptional services.

The project was born out of a desire to let everyone
enjoy the benefits of a natural spring welled 800
meters underground. After the outbreak of World War
One, the first stone blocks of Nancy Thermal found
themselves abandoned for more than a century. Thanks
to the responsible vision of multiple award-winning
architect Anne Démians, the old began a dialog with
the new, and resuscitated the project. The original
building creates a symmetry with the new construction,
creating a composite architecture. The lines, colors
and materials oppose each other in a desired negative
effect. The buildings thus melt into the surrounding
gardens and bodies of water. The ensemble is topped
by three domes stretching the buildings skywards. A
place steeped in history and modernity which opened
its doors for people to take the waters in 2023.
