While supervising nighttime construction work, I scribble on a scrap paper attached to the drawing board. I was pondering how I could create small structures based on a logic of furniture, attempting to escape the constraining complexity of traditional construction. I envisioned using single materials, interlocking components, and rapid assembly. I hadn't yet figured out what it could be, but the idea was to avoid a monotonous cube. Even so, irregular geometry would stem from a clear purpose, not just an aesthetic maneuver.
I thought of designing a sauna first, mainly due to the geometric potential the bench seating could generate. Secondly, I've always wanted to create a sauna, although I hadn't yet received a client's request for one.
For me, taking a sauna is connected to revisiting affectionate memories from my childhood. I recall the warm scent of eucalyptus, running my fingers along damp wood, and the test of courage that was stepping into the cold shower. I believe we only reinterpret what we've lived through, drawing from sensory experiences that are initially amorphous but develop into identifiable features, creating composite sketches.
Perhaps it's a mix of a desire to craft a parallel reality that occasionally surpasses, in beauty, one I'm already familiar with. Peeling back, carving, and polishing memories, I transform them into opportunities for others to live. These are attempts to design happiness and pleasures already experienced, shared, and now reinterpreted by others. It's an exercise in considering others through myself, then connecting to them and, through their experiences, to yet others.
Continuing the technical development of the project, purely by chance, the following week I receive a request to design a sauna with a usage program strikingly similar to what I was working on. I present the already-developed project and receive the client's approval.
