The first phase was the construction of the hammam, a concrete shell that runs perpendicular to the existing ancestral house, following the principles of the wings of Victorian buildings. Above this hammam, the multi-purpose room was designed and subsequently built as an extension to the existing restaurant and serves as a yoga and other activities room. A pavilion was added with an indoor cold bath, connected by a glass corridor to the existing sauna, making it easy to move between the two. The sauna's cladding was also matched to that of the other interventions on the site. Further phases are planned for the future.

The challenge for this place was to unite the English Victorian of the old mansion with the Japanese Zen of its new experience. The concept for the entire development of the complex developed is that of "intimacy shows" working on the link that unites and differentiates the Victorians and the Japanese in their relationship to intimacy and the way this structures the architecture of a place. Among several elements of this relationship to intimacy; there are, among others hierarchical relations of the classes as well as the consequent structuring of spaces: the culture of tea, that of the living room, that of the interspaces as well as that of the gardens and the strolling, the use of wood, and finally this tension between seeing and being seen, as well as all the architectural devices which feed this relationship.

The concept aims to create proximity and cohesion in the way one experiences intimacy while maintaining a distinction between the aesthetic styles of the two cultures, the old versus the new, without breaking the harmony of the place.
