Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article addresses the pressing issue of adapting historical heritage to modern needs, focusing on the integration of contemporary SPA-complexes into historical buildings and within the context of a multi-temporal historical city. Particular attention is paid to preserving the authenticity of the environment while meeting modern comfort requirements. The study examines contemporary trends in the design and arrangement of SPA-complexes, including the use of natural materials, integration with the surrounding environment and the application of energy-efficient technologies. The article emphasizes the preservation of historical buildings during their restoration and adaptation for modern functions. Various approaches to integrating SPA-complexes into historical settings are proposed, such as placement within the building's structure, basements, rooftops or as separate extensions. For each approach, advantages, disadvantages and recommendations for preserving the historical value of buildings are discussed. A separate section is devoted to the restoration of SPA-complex interiors. The authors analyze various types of materials used in decoration and methods of their restoration, with a focus on issues related to the impact of moisture and temperature on materials and historical building elements, as well as solutions to these challenges. One of the key propositions is the use of a modular system for the restoration of historical buildings into SPA-complexes. Based on the conducted research, the authors formulate conclusions about the prospects for developing SPA-complexes in historical buildings and offer recommendations.
