SIZE
0 sqft - 1000 sqft
This is a sauna and relaxation building in Saltsjöbaden to the east of Stockholm, Sweden.
Saltsjöbaden is a community that was founded in the 1890's with the goal of creating a society close to nature and the sea, with the possibility of boat and outdoor activities. The relatively large villas in this area were built around the turn of the century to cater for the growing group of people with a good economy.
The main building on this property is designed by Torben Grut, in 1920, the architect of the Stockholm Olympic Stadium in 1912; he was also the architect of the public bathhouse in Saltsjöbaden, which opens at an angle to the water.
This property had no sauna on the site.
The brief stated that it was important that the building was not visible from the main building, to frame views, a relationship to the evening sun and provide the opportunity for a sheltered patio on the leeward side adjacent to the bridge.
The sauna and relaxation building's form and position are the result of the site conditions at the pier and the rock. But the plan plays homage to the form that is found in the main building and also in the bathhouse in Saltsjöbaden.
Pine heartwood from the island of Gotland forms the roofing material that continues to wrap around the façade. The material is applied in a traditional overlapping “Faltak” technique. The gable facades shingles are from wood shavings, from Hälsingland, often used as roof cladding on old wooden churches in Sweden.
On plan the sauna room lies to the west and the relaxation room lies to the east. Between these spaces is a kitchenette, bathroom and storage space all clad in pine like a boats interior.
Details include floor-to-ceiling windows directing views towards the water, a panoramic window for the loungers on the upper deck of the sauna, the sofa designed for the space with soft grey furnishing; a brass skirting board that wraps around the central space that is reflected in the brass fittings in the kitchenette and slate from Jämtland, which covers the floor.
The facade is treated with Iron sulphate.
The taps are in brass from Tapwell.
The lighting fixtures from Örsjö
