Majbadet

Abstract

Water has undeniably beneficial effects on our bodies and minds. It reduces anxiety, stimulates creativity, and enhances our physical and mental well-being. Being such a major source for wellbeing it is problematic that the city of Gothenburg, despite being a coastal city, lacks bath facilities and connections to water. This thesis examine how the design of a building in an urban environment can provide a peaceful and calming space for rehabilitation for the modern and stressed person by focusing on detail, light, and materiality. The project aims to promote and increase through its design and placement the engagement of the site’s social life. The proposal is a health temple in form of a new bath facility providing the inhabitants of Majorna new encounters & relaxing spaces.
