SOLO SAUNA tune Kagurazaka — a Finnish sauna you use entirely alone, inside a hostel

SOLO SAUNA tune is a private-room Finnish sauna inside a hostel in Kagurazaka. Changing, the sauna, cooling off with cold water and resting all happen within one private room. Booking and payment are in advance, so there is no waiting for the sauna or the cold water. It was designed by Aki Hamada Architects, with sauna direction by TTNE. Everything below is based on the architects' project page and the official website.

Introduction

A new way to run a sauna

Because the space is private, you can relax without other people's eyes or waiting your turn, and pour löyly whenever you like.

The official website calls it “an immersive space of refined function and style” — a place for people who hesitated to use public saunas and baths.

01 · Into the room

Oval windows and lights

Oval windows and lights are used on the doors and walls of the private rooms.

02 · Sauna

Wooden benches and heat just for you

The sauna has wooden benches built in steps; indirect lighting brings out the grain of the wood.

You can lie down in the sauna or play your own music.

In the same room

The place for a cold shower and the place to rest are inside the same private room.

You can repeat sauna, cold water and rest without worrying about anyone else.
