Floating Sauna
Rosendal, Norway
World Architecture
Community Award 2011
The Floating Sauna is a gift for the Rosendal
community, a village at the end of the majestic Hardangerfjord in Norway. The
sauna celebrates the ancient but still living connection between the human
built environment and the great voice of the ocean. The Viking decedent
Rosendal villagers are as natural with house building as with building their
boats and the Floating Sauna lays somewhere in-between.
One enters the sauna by swimming or with a
rowing boat. Inside the temperature can be on the top seats up to 80 degrees,
but the cool ocean is just one step away. The hot sauna is moving and rocking
according to the mood of the sea. The naked man inside is like a baby in the
womb of nature.
All the Rosendal village can see the sauna on the Hardangerfjord and it shines as a lantern in the evenings. The walls of the sauna are semi-transparent
showing when the things are cooking. While sitting inside the sea literally
feels like flowing in and the modern man is cleaned by nature. The Floating Sauna is a happy marriage between Finnish and Norwegian cultures.
The construction process was done in
co-operation with the Art students from the Bergen Art Academy.Team:
Marco Casagrande, Sami Rintala
Christel Sverre
Kristin Lian Berg, Mona Brekke, Simen Dyrhaug, Jenny Therese Eriksson, Mahlet Ogbé Habte, Marja Ristiina Nickel, Ragnhild Ohma, Anne Marte Ruud, Mona Aspen Simonsen, Thomas Aspeland Sivertsen, Elin Solvang, Sverre Strandberg, Karolin Tampere, Sveinung Unneland, Elisabeth Wahlström.
