The Dutch version of the finnish sauna. You do not have to have a large garden or a great deal of space to accommodate it: the dressing room and the bathing space are integrated in a single large closet made of larch wood. The specially designed joints expand when they become wet, ensuring that the bath closet remains fully watertight. The wood, taken from a single larch tree, gives out a pleasing pine aroma when the bath is filled. The doors at both the front and the back of the closet can be opened. You hang your clothes above the bath, so they are gently steamed while you are bathing.
Designed by Anna van der Lei, freshly graduated from the Design Academy of Eindhoven.

The house is located on the edge of the Asterdplas in the Hague district meadows in Breda. The living area is raised above the surrounding land, so that the view of the natural environment is optimal. Large terraces immediately adjacent to the main living areas and large windows give the house a light and transparent character. The house also contains a basement-office in which the owners welcome their clients; this routing is well integrated in their private domains, without literally crossing them.
Build in 2008 by Grosfeld Vanderveld Architecten.
