A hydrothermal designer typically focuses on the design and creation of hydrothermal facilities and systems that involve heat, water, and therapeutic environments. This includes designing spaces like steam rooms, saunas, thermal cabins, and hydrotherapy pools for wellness and spa environments. Their work involves ensuring the luxurious, functional, and comfortable integration of heating, humidity, water features, and relaxation spaces to optimise health benefits and user experience. They must also address technical aspects such as material choice, drainage, electrical systems, and environmental sustainability.
In a wellness or spa context, a hydrothermal designer crafts custom hydrothermal journeys involving various heat therapies (hot/dry, hot/humid, warm/humid), cold therapy, and relaxation spaces. Their goal is to leverage the health benefits of thermal and wet treatments while delivering visually appealing and efficient design solutions that comply with health and building regulations.
In a more technical or energy-related context, hydrothermal design can also refer to designing geothermal energy extraction systems where heat, fluid circulation, and rock permeability are critical parameters. In this case, designers consider geological factors, fluid flow, well placement, and temperature gradients to optimize the recovery of geothermal energy.
