24.01.2022 We are live on the National Gallery of Victoria !!

24.01.2022 The best examples of effective public space are not counted off as requisite square feet in boardrooms but are responses to reality. Spaces that are enduringly successful pockets of life and activity because they both service and appeal to fundamentals of community needs and human desires. When people feel invested in their own public spaces, they feel alive. Hugo Macdonald Löyly Public Sauna, Helsinki

19.01.2022 With rapidly shrinking urban spaces, we need to be thinking above and beyond convention when it comes to creating new spaces for our cities and communities. This sauna is moored on the roof of an old factory in an industrial area of Geneva. Shared by local creatives, the petite wooden structure rests poetically atop three wooden beams that overlook artist studios. via @dwellmagazine

13.01.2022 A lot of people have been asking if the Atmosphere sauna prototype is heated. It’s a good question. For this particular prototype and experiment, we are focusing on what it is, other than heat, that makes sauna culture so desirable. To hone in on this we have chosen to intentionally remove the element of heat in order to be able to investigate the often intangible experiential and sensory dimensions of saunas. We want to see what happens when people enter the sauna fully clot...hed, without the physical benefit of sweating, and how people leave feeling. Usually, prototyping is not applied to the built environment, so this is in itself an experiment to see what insights we can attain from real-life human experience within a potential future space. We believe that this process will allow for a much more considered, future-focused and user-oriented approach to design, architecture and urban development. The design and materiality of the installation, however, have been constructed so that the sun and people occupying the space will naturally raise the humidity and temperature. So, yes, it will be warm but it won’t be hot enough for you to take your clothes off! We hope to see you over the weekend at Fairfield Amphitheatre #melbournedesignweek in collaboration with the @ngvmelbourne Atmosphere is the first in a series of architectural prototypes designed to explore the dynamics of small public spaces.

12.01.2022 A sneak peak from inside the sauna prototype The skin of the structure in made with a PVC waterproof membrane lined with paper to give it a frosted, translucent effect. This lets in a lot of light and creates a self-heating mechanism when the sun is out. #melbournedesignweek @ngvmelbourne

03.01.2022 The Dancing With Gravity performance for our launch night was powerful, confronting and sensual. A local Melbournian contact improvisation group, their practice is about tuning into the subtle impulses of the self and others sharing weight, touch, and movement awareness. We hope you felt it.
