Unique Properties: Japanese word “shinkan” means “deep stillness” and it expresses a way of falling into a complete silence. Therefore, we focused our design on the sound and created a sauna space where one can relax in a tranquil environment.To achieve this, partition walls were extended to the attic and uneven finish materials were used. We also used lighting that corresponded in direction, intensity, and color.
