SJØSKRENTEN BATH

The Sjøskrenten Bath project explores the qualities of the extreme, natural light conditions in the Arctic area, where there are both polar nights and polar days.

The bath is located on the shoreline in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, and contains spaces designed to emphasize the different light phenomena and weather conditions of the Arctic. The bath has an introverted core focusing on light, darkness and water. Extroverted spaces are surrounding this core, cantilevering above the sea and the raw nature. Tourism is the main income in Longyearbyen. The bath will offer tourists and inhabitants a new experience of the Arctic.

Light, darkness and water has been the main form-giving elements together with the construction:

Longyearbyen has permafrost, heat from buildings can make the permafrost melt, resulting in unstable ground conditions. Due to this, the bath is placed on stakes above the ground level, making the bath float above the shoreline.
