Investment works are an integral part of the development of spa towns. The introduction of new, contemporary developments supporting the primary function is a crucial factor influencing economic growth. The ever-increasing interest in spa tourism exerts pressure on management units, whose aim is to improve the quality of the available offer and the infrastructure supporting user services. In the case of investment activities, an essential aspect is the protection of landscape and architectural values to preserve the unique identity of spa towns. The implementation of appropriate planning regulations concerning the location of new developments helps to better shape the space while maintaining its most valuable features. The provisions of the local spatial development plan and the Spa Act require managers, local authorities, and residents to comply with a set ofregulations that help control ongoing investments. The history of the Nałęczów spa exemplifies the relationship between spatial context and architectural development. Various spa and residential buildings have played a significant role in shaping the interaction between space and users. Protecting the identity of Nałęczów and its unique architecture is a key aspect in ensuring public acceptance. The exemplary design concept of a contemporary service facility incorporates elements of historic architecture, allowing it to blend harmoniously into the existing spatial context. This minimises any negative impact on the landscape and the locality’s identity. The proposed solutions illustrate the introduction of a contemporary structure in the immediate vicinity of the spa park, with full respect for the characteristics of the historic Swiss-style buildings.
