Space is defined by heavy cores in concrete and cracks of light. Deep cuts bring lights far into the building and they also define all access for guests to the bath.

You arrive at the intersection in the middle of the building where you immediately gain an overview of the building. This foyer is part of a street that continues outside and connects the bath with a hotel to the south.

Floors and water basins weaves around the cores, where niches has been cut out for people to dwell in. Guests in the bath experience both light and view of the park outside through the buildings large windows.

The dynamic rhythm between heavy and light parts is also reflected in the façades.
