Sauna-Bulb, Finland

From series “Most Extraordinary Thermaes, Baths and Saunas in the World”
Year: 2011.

A real leader in the number of original baths and saunas is Finland. In the hospitable town of Turku, travallers will be able to visit an original sauna-garlic. A small building, in which it was opened, indeed resembles a garlic with its outlines, a unique similarity is emphasized by the walls painted in yellow. The unusual sauna has one more feature - internal acoustics, which varies depending on how water gets to the heater.

The author of the project of the unusual sauna is a sound designer Shaw Dekkirinu. He added special sockets, which he fixed on the roof. Thanks to the sockets, people from the outside can hear people hovering in the bath. The unusual sauna is located on the territory of a picturesque recreation park. A large outdoor swimming pool and a lot of terraces are open here in warm season.

Next to the sauna there are some more unusual bathing complexes. One of them is located on the water. Its visitors will have an opportunity to relax in a unique atmosphere. Thanks to special lenses that have been fixed on the walls of the sauna, beautiful projections of the surrounding landscapes are formed inside it. The opening of the unusual sauna in Turku took place in 2011, when the city was recognized as a cultural capital of Europe. The sauna has also an official name – "The Sounding Dome".
