- DESCRIPTION
A competition proposal developed by ZEROTH with Cookies Architecture to turn a disused reservoir beneath a Basel parking garage into a seasonal thermal bathhouse. A water-to-water heat pump, powered by local solar production, moves heat between basins. The result is a sequence of hot pools, cold-water curtains, waterfalls, showers and heated daybeds.
