The luxurious spa opened by the Dorchester Hotels group is situated in Ascot on the borders of Windsor Great Park, buried within the natural contours of the landscape.
The building is camouflaged by the ZinCo green roof which is also being used to cultivate thyme, lavender, chamomile and other fragrant herbs for use in natural treatments at the Spa. The pioneering design, has kept the building’s volume and footprint to a minimum whilst intimately relating the spa to its sensitive green belt setting.
A total of 700m² of extensive and semi-intensive green roof system, the optimum solution for the unique semi circular design of the Spa’s pitched curved roof were installed over a Derbigum Warm Roof waterproofing system. Derbigum is a high performance membrane which was specified for its exceptional long-term performance and durability.
