The sauna room is a space with a futuristic design.The adjacent shower room, cold bath and relaxation area have lighting that has been kept to a minimum, creating a dimly lit space where you can relax.The lighting in the relaxation area is indirect lighting only, and the light flickers irregularly, like waves, getting brighter and darker.It is in this flickering light that users are transported to another dimension.Users can enjoy drinks and light meals at the bar, which has an Oriental-style design.The space has been carefully designed to provide a momentary escape from the ordinary.
