Published 16 Dec, 2015
This sauna was built in nine days by architecture students from AHO and architects from Stiv Kuling. It is an addition to a sea bath from the 1890’s, and extends the sea bath to a year-round facility for the people of Farsund.
The sauna comprises a changing room with two showers, a sauna room with a view of the sea, and a cold sea water pool. It is conceived as a layered story, where each component offers an individual experience. The end spaces have the exterior cladding exposed inside, while the sauna is a fully insulated, intimate space. The exterior panelling is carbonised heartwood pine. Details are in copper and white coated steel.
