顾名思义，Saunaravintola Kiulu既是一个桑拿房和餐厅，也是城市内各种即兴活动的背景。在餐厅内，用餐体验从正式到休闲不等，而两个桑拿房则提供了社区驱动的沐浴体验或更亲密的亲密体验。所有这些空间都通过一个共享的室外露台统一起来，使整个体验不仅接近邻近的湖泊，而且接近其周围广阔的自然。
As its name suggests, Saunaravintola Kiulu is both a sauna and restaurant as well as the backdrop for all sorts of impromptu events within the city. Within the restaurant, the dining experiences vary from formal to casual while two saunas offer either a community-driven bathing experience or a more intimate, closer one. All of these spaces are unified through a shared outdoor terrace, bringing the entire experience closer to not only the adjacent lake, but the vast nature around it.
从概念上讲，Saunaravintola Kiulu旨在通过整体设计方法重新思考健康体验，理解一个人的健康是高度个性化的，因此每个人都是不同的。无论是通过积极的社会追求还是独处的精神追求，Saunaravintola Kiulu通过其建筑，为更大的社区精心定义了不同的用户路径，让每个人都有平等的机会以他们喜欢的方式享受自己。
Conceptually, Saunaravintola Kiulu aims to rethink the wellness experience through a holistic design approach, understanding that one’s wellbeing is highly individual and therefore different for everyone. Whether it is through active, social pursuits or solitary, spiritual ones, Saunaravintola Kiulu, through its architecture, carefully defines different user paths for the greater community to allow everyone the equal opportunity to enjoy themselves in the way they prefer.
一个富有成果的伙伴关系。我们与阿赫塔伊里市的紧密合作始于几年前，当时我们被要求为该地区制定一个总体规划概念，为全年的多功能旅游建立不同的途径。当我们综合和评估所有的区域数据时，我们立即意识到两个潜在的增长领域：加强与滨水区的公共联系，并为游客和更大的当地社区整合一个多用途的聚会空间。因此，Saunaravintola Kiulu的想法迅速出现，在不到两年的时间里从概念变成了现实。
通过Saunaravintola Kiulu，滨水区被激活，因为它是建筑中最强调的元素。从结构内的每一个视角都可以看到湖面，提供不同的时刻和视角，通过这些视角来欣赏和享受自然景观。无论是从陆路还是乘船旅行，Saunaravintola Kiulu都通过多样化的服务为阿赫塔里市及其他地区提供服务，邀请我们最终与他人、自然，甚至是我们自己建立联系。
A Fruitful Partnership. Our close collaboration with the city of Ähtäri began a few years back when we were asked to develop a master plan concept for the area that would establish different avenues for year-round, versatile tourism. As we were synthesizing and evaluating all the regional data, we immediately realized two potential areas for growth: strengthening the public connection to the waterfront and integrating a multi-purpose gathering space for both tourists and the greater local community. Consequently, the idea for Saunaravintola Kiulu rapidly emerged, turning from concept to reality in less than two years.
Through Saunaravintola Kiulu, the waterfront is activated as it is an element most underscored by the architecture. Every viewpoint from within the structure frames the lake, offering different moments and perspectives through which to take in and enjoy the natural landscape. Whether traveling by land or by boat, Saunaravintola Kiulu serves the city of Ähtäri and beyond through the diversification of services that were previously limited in the area, inviting us to ultimately connect with others, nature, and even ourselves.
空间氛围。Saunaravintola Kiulu的外观很隐蔽。它的外壳由黑色的木板包裹，而整个结构本身则依偎在景观中，使其与周围环境融为一体。这样做是有目的的，这样的建筑不仅避免了对周围的荒野产生影响，而且还为活动创造了一个隐蔽、安全的口袋。
Spatial Atmosphere. The exterior of Saunaravintola Kiulu is deceptively hidden. Its outer shell is clad in black wooden boards while the entire structure itself is nestled into the landscape, allowing it to blend into its surroundings. This is done purposefully so that the architecture not only avoids detracting from the wilderness around it but so that it also creates a sheltered, safe pocket for activity.
在室内，黑暗和光明的气氛之间有一种微妙的相互作用，两者在建筑的不同时刻战略性地并列在一起。抵达后，餐厅入口处空气清新，采用温暖的木质色调，从大窗户透出大量光线，而桑拿空间则完全是黑暗的，与其他地方隔绝。这些强烈的空间转换创造了一种刺激的、丰富的感官体验，积极地压倒了我们，使我们集中在当下。特别是在公共桑拿房里，其他人之间的互动是非常亲密的，一个更平静的气氛帮助我们感到更放松和自在–即使在陌生人身边。
Inside, there is a delicate interplay between dark and light atmospheres, both strategically juxtaposed at different moments within the architecture. Immediately upon arriving, the restaurant entrance is airy with warm wooden tones and a flood of light from large windows while the sauna spaces are entirely dark and secluded from the rest. These strong spatial transitions create a stimulating, sensory-rich experience that positively overwhelms us, focusing us on the present moment. Especially in a public sauna where the interaction between others is very intimate, a calmer atmosphere helps us feel more relaxed and at ease – even when around strangers.
虽然这两个桑拿空间的气氛类似于黑暗，但它们提供了不同的空间体验。较大的那个与主结构相连，有升高的座位，顶部有一个狭窄的水平全景窗，更适合大型团体使用。同时，较小的体验式建筑完全从主结构中分离出来，有一个近乎天花板高度的窗户，以促进与下面的水的更深层次的联系。在这里，地板与外部持平，使外部和内部之间的过渡无缝衔接，在视觉上将所有的注意力引向窗外。
While the atmospheres are similarly dark between the two sauna spaces, they offer different spatial experiences. The larger one, which is connected to the main structure, has raised seating with a narrow horizontal panoramic window at the top and is better suited for larger groups. Meanwhile, the smaller, experiential one is removed entirely from the main structure with a nearly ceiling-height window to foster a deeper connection to the water directly below. Here, the floor is leveled with the outside to make the transition between outside and inside seamless, visually directing all the attention out the window.
祖母的湖滨桑拿房。整体的室内概念主要是培养一种舒适的体验，类似于mummolan rantasauna，或者你奶奶的湖边桑拿房。通过以现代的、非传统的方式使用传统材料，我们庆祝家庭桑拿的仪式性遗产，同时重新发明它们以适应整个社区。
Grandma’s Lakefront Sauna. The overall interior concept anchors on fostering a cozy, comfortable experience akin to mummolan rantasauna, or your grandma’s sauna on the lake. By using traditional materials in modern, unconventional ways, we celebrate the ritualistic heritage of family saunas while reinventing them to suit the whole community.
在整个室内，最突出的传统材料之一是红砖。它为餐厅空间增添了特色，作为地板上的瓷砖，而湿式桑拿空间的环氧树脂也被染成了同样的色调，以示参考。同样，在餐厅内，天然的羊毛装饰品和窗帘带来了柔软和丰富的纹理，以补充建筑材料和家具，塑造了一个温暖和触觉的氛围。
One of the most prominent traditional materials throughout the overall interior is red brick. It adds character to the restaurant space as the tiling on the floor while the epoxy in the wet sauna spaces is colored in the same hue to reference it. Similarly, within the restaurant, natural woolen upholstery and curtains bring softness and rich textures to complement the architectural materials and furniture, shaping a warm and tactile ambiance.
与其健康建筑的视角一致，Saunaravintola Kiulu的内部设计最终打算让其客人有家的感觉。对于一些人来说，温泉和沐浴的仪式可能会觉得太过私密而无法与他人分享；因此，空间设计和材料巧妙地唤起了所有的感官，从而创造出舒适和安全的印象–就像在奶奶的桑拿房一样。
In the line with its lens on wellness architecture, the interior of Saunaravintola Kiulu ultimately intends to make its guests feel at home. For some, spas and the rituals of bathing can feel too private of moments to share with others; therefore, the spatial design and materials subtly invoke all the senses to instead create impressions of comfort and safety – just like at grandma’s sauna.
为了漫长的夏日。当然，我们都知道，最好的夏日是在户外度过的。因此，在露台上，有很多机会享受这个季节，家具可以让人用餐和休息，而台阶本身也可以作为额外的座位。它一直向上延伸到屋顶，在那里可以看到Saunaravintola Kiulu周围的自然风光，为所有的人提供了坐下来放松的机会，手拿冷饮来欣赏这一切–我们觉得这是一个非常成功和有意义的合作的最终结果，不仅是与城市，也同样与投资者和总承包商。
For Long Summer Days. Of course, we all know that the best summer days are spent outside. Therefore, on the terrace, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the season with furniture that allows for both dining and lounging while the steps themselves act as additional seating. It continues all the way upwards onto the roof, where there are scenic views out into the nature around Saunaravintola Kiulu, offering all the opportunity to sit back, relax, and take it all in with a cold drink in hand – what we feel is a fitting end result from a very successful and rewarding collaboration with not only just the city, but also equally with the investors and general contractor.
