CONCEPT FOR A GROWING BATHHOUSE

The water which is spilled after a bath in a pool just by stepping out

and walking to your towel can easily be used for giving life

to plants

 By seeing how and where the plants are growing, you get aware

of where and how much water is carried out of the

pool, which in other circumstances would

just being wasted.

 

architecture:

 The dead, regularity of the tiles as contradiction to the organic, living plants,

the square building to the round pool,

the walls without windows to the glass roof which brings in a lot of light.

The bathhouse is kept as minimalistic as possible, to enhance the

plants which are growing inside.
