I'm doing a study for my dissertation on places of rest and relaxation in the City.  Peter Zumthor's designs are profoundly known for the atmosphere they hold and the fact that he trys to create a space to relax.

I am using this design as one of my case studies, however as i could not be there to witness the design i want to know your thoughts on it... Does it work? If you experienced it what feelings did you gain from it? What do you think about the way it has been designed? Do you think the aim of relaxation has been achieved?... Is it the surroundings of the building which help to achieve this... the light... materials etc etc

Any comments would be appreciated!

Thanks!
