Bathhouse is a distinct departure from traditional wellness models, filling a niche at the intersection of a no-frills banya and a luxury spa. Our design concept for the first Manhattan location—a three-level destination featuring thermal pools, saunas, and marble hammams—was inspired by the idea of the Hero’s Journey. Our goal was to create a new architectural language, allowing guests to feel as though they’ve discovered a slightly futuristic ruin from an ancient civilization.
