The project is a proposal for a subterranean public bath beneath a Green Lane Recreation Ground with a glazed openings and saunas complex at street level. The proposal sets to re-establish culture of public bathing lidos. Since early 1900 public lidos have played a central role in not only in the area but in the UK. Drawing inspiration from Scandinavian and Japanese bathing rituals, the off-grid saunas, which fits up to twelve people each, are intended to promote well-being and connect city dwellers to one another and nature. For Joanna - Saunas are places that fascinate, She felt it was natural to explore a space that unites and encourages conversation. Saunas are sacrosanct places where you can discuss all manner of things – from the big to the small.
