Estonian tradition of saun was transformed into a floating pavilion.

The assignment was to built a sauna on top of two pontoons which were used a long time ago in a harbour construction and left unused at our client yard.

The pavilion was designed to create rather clear contrast to the surroundings by the simple form. The form defines a living room amongst the nature at the same time keeps enough openness. The carefully-placed enclosed sauna divides the floor providing a corner for changing of clothes.

Wooden structure is covered with Siberian larch boarding.
