This is a general layout floor-plan that I made. It shows the different areas of the bathhouse in more detail and allows one to see how people would flow throughout the space.
I decided to incorporate two separate entrances into the bathhouse as it would allow for more flexibly. I thought one entrance could be a members only or that one could be the entrance and one the exit.
The mens and woman’s bathrooms are separated at the moment, however this may change due to space. There is also a separate section for showering off after being the pools.
I have made sure to take into consideration spa goers that may be impeded or have a disability. To cater to their needs I have included a series of ramps in sections where there are stairs and there will be additional space allocated for individuals with wheelchair needs.
I wanted to make sure that the refreshment area was accessible to everyone, even if they were not going to be using the other bathhouse facilities. In doing so I made a clear path down to the area which is located at the rear of the site. I also made this area open to the elements with the sliding doors being able to be fully pushed back creating a borderless transition between the bathhouse space and the forest.
This floor-plan is open to change and will most likely be altered throughout my design process.
