What is the most important thing in a bathhouse?Do you think it's just the temperature and a broom? What else can bring pleasure to steam lovers? We will show you 6 private baths that will amaze you with their interiors and make you remember the famous Sanduny. The tradition of visiting a bathhouse is thousands of years old and has its own characteristics for each nation. But today we will not talk about how pleasant it is to steam a broom, sit in a steam room and then plunge into the coolness of the pool - these physical and spiritual joys are close to many, and after prolonged holidays such procedures can literally be lifesaving. No, today we will talk about original projects developed by Russian and foreign designers. When you look at some of them, it's like you've been to a museum! See for yourself!
1. Bathhouse with a summer kitchen
This building looks more like a gazebo orsummer guest house, designed by Pavel Abramov and Olga Kalina. Under a wide canopy, you can relax in the fresh air or take a steam bath in a hammam with fonts. The main idea of this project is ecology in everything. The building fits into the surrounding landscape organically, there is a lot of free space, while privacy and relaxation are guaranteed to visitors. The bathhouse with a summer kitchen together with the main house makes up a single ensemble. The absence of solid walls allows the sun to freely penetrate inside, creating the illusion of relaxation and taking water procedures almost in the open air.
2. Bathhouse in Russian-Turkish style
This project was developed by designer Olga Khitrovaco-authored by Oleg Shuranov and Irina Shoshinova. The bathhouse is part of a guest complex located near a large lake. The main building is made in a modern, avant-garde style. The bathhouse is decorated in the concept of an old Russian house. Inside the room, there is a living room with a fireplace made according to the sketches of the author of the project and finished with travertine. Soft furniture in a classic style adds coziness to the interior. The room with the pool is divided into two parts by the color of the walls: in the pool they are whitewashed, in the recreation area they are darker. The lounger is faced with mosaics imitating a carpet. Shower cabins in the bathhouse are decorated with mosaics according to the design of the artist Alexander Panchenko.
3. Luxurious sauna with wooden interior in Courchevel
This private bath complex is located in oneof the luxury chalets of the famous ski resort of Courchevel, in the French Alps. There is an indoor pool measuring 7 x 3 m, a jacuzzi and a sauna with a steam room and hammam. It makes you want to go there for a week!
Our opinion:— If you decide to build a sauna, you will have to decide where to place it, in the house or separately. In our opinion, a sauna in the house has the right to exist only if there is an electric heater. Or you can make an infrared sauna in the house. By the way, this is how they do it in Finland, where the sauna culture is extremely developed. A separate wood-fired sauna is usually located in the yard.
4. Sauna in a barrel
If you can't afford a holiday in a luxury chalet,You can spend your winter weekends at your dacha with no less pleasure, where you can take a steam bath in a barrel! Barrel saunas from the Canadian manufacturer Dundalk Leasure Сraft are a real find! Due to the lack of corners, the heating area is reduced by 30%, and in just half an hour the temperature in the steam room rises to +80°С. The barrel sauna is made of red Canadian cedar. Its length is 2 m 14 cm, width is 2 m 42 cm. Two options are offered for heating: a Dundalk Leasure Сraft wood-burning heater or Tylo electric heaters. A circular ventilation system is installed in the back wall of the barrel. Since this season, domestic manufacturers have begun to make similar barrel saunas from pine, and the steam room reaches six meters in length. What can't you think of for the convenience of a good company!
5. Scandinavian-style sauna on the shore of the fjord
Architects from TYIN tegnestue have proposed a projecta sauna created from an old Norwegian boat and fishing house on the shore of a fjord. Of course, this house could only be turned into a sauna! In such a picturesque place, any old building would look appropriate if it was tidied up, strengthened and slightly remodeled. It has everything you need for a sauna, it is quite spacious inside, and the view from the window is as magnificent as it is simple. The more nature there is around, the more pleasant it is even to think about the possibility of taking a steam bath here and sitting in silence…
Our opinion:— If you decide to buy a utility room or use an existing one to convert it into a bathhouse, you need to follow three main steps to ensure that the future bathhouse is effective and safe to use. 1. Reliable waterproofing of the entire structure, and it must be done both inside and outside. 2. Sufficient thermal insulation to retain heat for a long time. 3. Correct supply of communications according to safety and operating regulations.
6. Stone, wood, water…
The authors of this project are architects DmitryAntonov and Ivan Fatkin. They implemented their design on the territory of an individual residential building under construction in a cottage village in the Zaeltsovsky district of Novosibirsk. The customer received a bathhouse with a swimming pool, an open terrace and a recreation area with a fireplace are provided nearby. The base and floor of the terrace and recreation area are faced with porcelain tiles. Windows with wooden frames are complemented by double-glazed windows, decorative grilles are made of profiled wooden bars. So that we live like this!
