Neoclassical mudbaths (architects: Olev Siinmaa, Erich von Wolffeldt, Aleksander Nürnberg, 1924) was a landmark in Estonian summer resort Pärnu which was abandoned for several years before reconstruction. The extension as a new modern hotel was built. The concept of interior architecture is to create a holistic atmosphere both in the old spa (1877 m2) and added new hotel (4207 m2) buildings in using monochrome colors and contemporary materials. It is a challenge to connect these two parts with the help of an old mud corridor and modernize tiny but 4 meters high therapy rooms.
The interior is nominated to the Annual Award Contest of Estonian Association of Interior Architecture and Contest of Estonian Cultural Endownment 2015.
