Public bath
-
Long while no architectural project, this is a project from 2020. I was asked to design a public bath model to be copied for roadside resort areas. It had some restrictions, though, such as no active ventilation or snow shoveling, easy to build, maintain... etc..
Here is the result.

And some more renders.
-
More details.
To know: Squat toilets are the most common type here.
-
beautyfull concept and nice render.
I remember 25 years ago I struggled with this type of toilette, when I have been to Shiraz.

@jo-ke funny to know, I can imagine that. My son refuses to use these squat toilets
..
Though Shiraz/Iran is beautiful, it is challenging to give a visit to, .. needless to say why. So you must be proud of yourself, challenging yourself, man!
let's hope for a peaceful ending for the conflict where we all are constructive members of the free world. -
@majid In the 90ties we had a a department for rugs. I've visited Tehran, Isfahan and Shiraz between 1992 and 2002. 2002 was the last time I've been there to buy rugs for my company but we gave up the rug business in 2005, because germans doesn't buy rugs anymore.

A lot more efficient than any I have been to.
Last time I came across a public baths that was not a swimming pool was around 1968-9.
Latchmere bathes was a huge Victorian hall with a swimming pool in the middle.
The front of house had actual bathtub niches, men one side and women the other. My memory say's six per side. The rear of the building was the boiler/furnace where clinical waste was burned with coal to heat pool water and allow for the massive industrial washing machines because nobody had those at home. We had no fridge either until about 70-72 sometime.
It's odd, the places an image can take us, I have clear memory of seeing old folk going into those bath niches. That and my dad taking me for the one and only time to swim there, I couldn't at the time.
When I went down for the sixth time or so, someone suggested my dad pull me out or watch me drown. That was what he said anyway.Thanks for the reminder Majid, a somehow less complex and simpler time then, as you often say, may we return to simpler and more mutually respectful days with children grow up being children rather than statistics.

There was a rail bridge on the road to the baths, so low that they had to dip the road under it and every spring it would flood to about 1.5m. Not to mention autumn rains.
Sorry, like I said, memories woke up.
