ONSEN | 葉隠庵
Stockholm, Sweden 2023.
Design and construction: Nashinokisya.
A detached bathhouse built for a private residence in Stockholm — designed as a place to leave the city behind entirely. The interior is conceived as a cave: stone and timber, dim light, heat held in the walls. There is almost no phone signal. That was the intention.
The bath itself is built from stone and wood, detailed by hand. In the hard winters of Sweden, the structure does what it was made to do — it warms the body completely.
