Cultural bathing Experience

Turkish Bath

Upon entering the hammam, you will find yourself in a dressing room, or camekan, which is surrounded by private cubicles where you dress. Your attendant will give you a cotton wrap, or pestemal, and a pair of slippers, or terlik, along with a key to your cubicle.

then you enter a warm room with a raised stone platform in the center, surrounded by bathing alcoves in pretty colored quartz tiles. The tiles are said to remove static electricity from the air and help relax the mind and body. Then, the lighting is diffused through glass in the ceiling to be soft and relaxing.

The stone platform is heated to work up a sweat, and then you are led to a basin to cleanse yourself.

A Place to Dine

The concept for my design is "hidden connections." everything in my room has hidden connections with other aspects in the room.

Final Design...

The windows split the walls apart to create an invisible connection, the columns turn into beams on the ceiling like a hidden connection. Last, the colors are all mixtures of each other to create unity between them.
