The best bath complexes in the world. Bath in a bag with birch leaves. Video - Do-it-yourself shallow strip foundation

The bathhouse, with its steam and brooms, cozy atmosphere, is not so much an object of hygiene, but favorite place recreation. And if so, you want her to be the best. But let’s be honest, we all love to have “cheap” added to “convenient” and “beautiful.” And since our people are not lacking in ingenuity, the solutions can be very curious, although often practical. We have collected a selection of photos, some of which may give you ideas...

Many people are often confused by the window in the steam room. Well, how to make it so that it doesn’t blow under any circumstances, but opens easily. And here is the solution - the door from the washing machine. Why not a sealed window? No drafts or problems with opening.

More on the issue of beauty. How do you store your firewood? Yes. Me too. And there are several very simple, but very unusual solutions that decorate the site. Moreover, they do not require any extra effort to implement.

You should be given a medal for building such a woodpile. Only now, it will be a pity to take it apart... We'll have to go back to the forest.

And this is a work of art. It would be a shame to destroy

Recently, Japanese mini-baths with heated ofuro or furako have become increasingly popular. This is our response to the Japanese who stole our wooden barrel. Everything is very simple and you don’t need to build anything.

The main thing is not to overheat...

If you were in the hunt, you could take a steam bath...

We already wrote, but there are also bathhouses in trailers.

Who told you that they should only be in the oven? If there are several large stones, between them all that remains is to finish the walls. You will get a fireproof bathhouse. Like in this photo.

And yet we associate a bathhouse with a tree. And this is correct: thanks to the fact that wood “breathes”, we can breathe in the steam room without any problems. But the construction of a log house is not an easy undertaking and is very expensive. Not everyone knows how to work well with an ax or pay the cost of building a log house by specialists. Here is a solution: a bathhouse made of logs. They are smeared with clay mixed with straw. The result is warm, reliable, beautiful walls that also breathe well and retain heat just as well. These are the bathhouses from the “cheap and cheerful” category.

Unusual baths

There are Russian baths, there are Turkish, there are Japanese, and there are unusual baths, those that are used in narrow circles, not so common, and some may not even know about their existence and that such a bath can bring any benefit. Next, we will consider in more detail the popular non-traditional unusual baths.

Sand bath

The bathhouse is unusual - a sand bath is quite common, river and sea sand has its own healing properties, which our ancestors knew about. Sand in direct sunlight heats up and releases heat and chemical elements. During the unusual sand procedure, the sand heats up and retains heat in itself, and thanks to its crushed particles, sweat is absorbed quickly when sweating is continuous. Sweat is absorbed evenly, and in one such procedure you can lose about 600 grams of weight. With this procedure, the body avoids sudden temperature changes, and therefore the load on the body is minimized. Taking a sand bath goes something like this: it forms a hole with a small depression, the length is the height of a person, the body is covered with sand, preferably up to the neck, and do not forget to cover your head or put up an umbrella, your head should remain in the shade. The procedure lasts about 10 minutes, and then take a swim in river or sea water. This unusual sand bath is useful for people with a weakened body, for diseases such as arthritis, nephritis, and women's diseases. Contraindicated for neoplasms, anemia, tuberculosis and depletion of the body.

Bath in a bag with birch leaves

A sauna in a bag with leaves is simple and unusual; a person is placed in a bag filled with birch leaves. The peculiarity of this procedure is that a special microclimate is formed inside the bag, and birch leaves have excellent medicinal properties. With profuse sweating, all toxins are simultaneously released from the body and at the same time healing microelements of the leaves enter. The same thing can be done not with birch leaves, but with flower hay, the effect will also be beneficial, and the aroma will be divine!

Bathhouse in a dung heap

A bathhouse in a dung heap, an even more exotic and unusual bathhouse probably cannot be imagined, but such a thing exists. This bath is useful for people with radiculitis and painful joints. A person is buried in manure for a couple of hours, the rotting process has a beneficial effect on the body, and visiting it about 20 times will show incredible results. Therefore, if you overcome yourself and place yourself in an unusual bathhouse - a bath with a smell, the healing effect will not be long in coming.

The most unusual baths in the world are located in the northern countries. AND this fact hardly anyone will be surprised. Residents of such states have a crazy desire to steam their bones, because... the air temperature in their cities rises no higher than 20 degrees above zero, and even then this happens quite rarely. I myself have been living in a northern city for a long time and therefore I simply love going to the bathhouse and sauna, but my only dream is to buy myself a home sauna and for a long time I have been looking at the website http://sreda-obitaniya.ru/catalog/santehnika/sauna/. but I just can’t decide :)

Bathhouse in the middle of the river

In Liberec, Czech Republic, they built a unique bathhouse and placed it right on the river. The steam room was installed on stilts, not far from the city beach, and everyone has the opportunity to be among the visitors. A pre-filled application is a prerequisite. This can be done in an architectural studio, which, by the way, is the author of the presented structure.

Sauna on wheels

Camping saunas are not surprising, but saunas on wheels are a delight. For example, a log bathhouse on a KRAZ or in a trailer. Amazing, isn't it? The largest mobile bathhouse is a structure located on a long Volvo truck, the length of which is 17 meters.

Sauna on the ferry

There is also a sauna on the ferry. It works exclusively on fine summer days, and on winter time is laid up.

Sauna on the ski lift

The amazing bathhouse also found its place on the ski lift. At a ski resort in Finland, they built a sauna right in the cabin, because Finns cannot be imagined without a sauna even in such a place.

Sauna on the tram

In Milan there is a sauna located in a tram car. 10 people can steam bones in it, and in addition to the steam room, the bathhouse is equipped with comfortable benches, a table and a plasma TV, which broadcasts a program about the creation and history of Milanese tram transport.

Bathhouse in the rock

Bathhouse at the hockey arena

The existence of a bathhouse at the hockey arena is also known. Surely most representatives of the stronger sex dream of watching hockey live and at the same time taking a steam bath. Now they have this opportunity, and it is no longer necessary to dress warmly for a fight.

The oldest sauna in Finland

In Finland there is the oldest sauna - Rauhaniemi, built in Tampere back in 1906, located on the shore huge lake Nyasijarvi. This is an ideal place for winter swimming fans. The steam room can accommodate up to 70 people, and each of them has the opportunity to plunge into a cut-out ice hole where the water temperature does not exceed 4 degrees. To achieve maximum effect, it is recommended to first warm up well in the bathhouse, and then plunge into wormwood several times. In summer you can relax here on the beach.

Russian bathhouse - in our time modern times This is not only a traditional washing room, steam room and a terribly cramped dressing room.

Increasingly, the eyes of homeowners are drawn to the designs of unusual bathhouses: with a veranda, fireplace, swimming pool, barbecue oven, relaxation rooms, a spacious terrace... and this is not the limit of the architects’ imagination!

Original bathhouses or triple pleasure

In this article, we invite you to get acquainted with non-standard baths that go beyond the boring boundaries of everyday life, in which relaxing is not just pleasant and interesting, but unforgettable! After all, here you have a unique opportunity to receive three types of pleasure at once: physical, mental and aesthetic.

So, let's see what solutions have recently become popular among our compatriots when building baths:

Bath complex with swimming pool. We would like to immediately dispel the myth that the implementation of such a project is mega expensive - professional builders and home craftsmen have long confirmed the opposite. The price for construction is affordable to almost everyone, especially if the artificial reservoir is not heated and not covered. But projects of two-story buildings with an indoor pool are more expensive. Yes, and there is room here to expand architecturally.

Billiards and sauna are another excellent combination that will surely interest many representatives of the stronger sex! By and large, such projects provide for the presence of at least one recreation room - billiard equipment is located in it. The area of this room can vary from a minimum of 20 m² to 40 m² or more.

Quite often, a billiard room is built on the second, that is, attic floor. In this case, the free space is organized in the most ergonomic way: on the ground floor there is a washing room, a steam room and a relaxation room, on the second there is a billiard room.

Buildings with an attic. Of course, this is far from an innovation, but every year enterprising architects come up with more and more interesting projects baths with an additional attic floor. In addition, this is a unique opportunity to never get extra square meters without expansion total area buildings. What can be done from the second floor? Equip the same billiard room, recreation room, gym or even an office with your own hands!

Unusual bathhouse with veranda or terrace. Agree, it is the absence or presence of open/closed extensions that forms the overall aesthetic perception of the building, its colorful, unique appearance.
For example, either along the entire facade or even a bay window - these are not just additional useful squares, but also a decoration of the bathhouse, its distinctive feature, its business card!

Advice!
Even if for some reason you prefer a standard bathhouse design to an individual one, then it can be made original by wisely choosing the location, shape and type of extension.
Try equipping a traditional corner log house with a veranda, and you will be surprised how much more unusual your bathhouse will become.

Barrel sauna. According to ancient legend, a certain sage named Diogenes lived in a barrel. Much water has passed under the bridge since then, but this legend is alive to this day, only in its embodied form. Unfortunately, it is not known from history who first “gave birth” to the idea that you can take a great steam bath in an oak barrel... but one step or two, and today we can admire the most interesting bathhouses in the form of barrels!

Baths of this type appeared in the middle of the 20th century in snowy Finland and instantly won the hearts of the European people. Not surprising, because in addition to its colorful appearance, a barrel sauna, compared to a typical square building, warms up quickly and retains heat longer.

For your information!
Today there are also models of barrel baths that are placed on a mobile chassis in the form of a trailer.
This solution allows you to take it with you if, for example, you want to get out into nature and have a good soak there.

Beautiful bathhouse designs: a non-standard approach to traditional construction, unusual solutions typical projects, a new look at the design of baths, a video selection about the construction of beautiful baths.

About the log house and frame

The most popular building material used for the construction of baths remains wood. The most in great demand uses two types of structures, constructed from a frame or. The history of log construction goes back many thousands of years. There were log buildings in areas densely covered with forest. The log houses were built mainly by residents of poorer classes. The wealthier ones built stone chambers for themselves.

Today, not everyone can afford to build a log structure. The market dictates demand, which has recently increased significantly, and wood has acquired a very high price. Log houses are considered the most expensive buildings. In addition, the technology for manufacturing a log structure is quite uneconomical. When constructing a log house, a large amount of waste is generated, which cannot be used anywhere else and must be disposed of as construction waste.

The technology of constructing wooden houses from a frame, followed by filling the internal cavities with special materials and subsequent cladding of the finished structure, was developed in the West. It came to us under the name “Canadian technology” and contains the concept of building wooden houses using an almost waste-free method.

Interesting solutions in wooden construction

Very often the following picture is observed in a person’s behavior when he acquires a plot of land in a suburban area. As a rule, the very first step for many is laying the foundation for a future bathhouse. Note, not a building in which you can live, but a room where there is an opportunity to rest, relax and get pleasure for the soul and body.

A Russian person and a steam room are practically inseparable concepts. The existing tribute to the traditions of bathing events has firmly settled in the Russian consciousness, and a comfortable rest at the end of the working week for many becomes a kind of fetish, goal and aspiration. But this is not surprising. As a result, plans, diagrams and projects of country wooden baths are born. They can be included in the calculation of the construction of the main houses, representing a small house with a small wood-burning bathhouse, or, or a completely separate, separate building.

A classic of the genre is a traditional country wooden building, erected on a coastal strip near a river or on the edge of a picturesque lake. The material for such buildings are various variations of natural wood. Depending on the financial status of the owner of the steam room, the erected object of “cult” can be made of logs. A small percentage of log buildings are laid by hand. A little more often you will see buildings made of rounded logs. The most common buildings are made of glued or profiled timber in the form of small ones. This is obvious, since timber buildings are considered the most affordable in terms of pricing.

We all know that wood belongs to the category of the most environmentally friendly building material with a unique air exchange system, a low thermal conductivity coefficient, thanks to which the premises retain heat perfectly, do not release steam to the outside and emit a unique aroma of wood, full of charm and attributed to medicinal properties.

All about the variety of projects

Designing wooden baths today represents an entire branch of production. Among the huge number of ready-made standard projects, you can find both small buildings, 3x3 or 3x4 in size, containing a standard set of premises - a steam room, a washing room and a dressing room, as well as luxurious two or three-story apartments of a bathhouse complex. The project may include premises with the most diverse and fantastic purposes and functionality.

Video project of one of the most beautiful modern log baths “Elena the Beautiful”, now put into operation. The video mentions how the project was born and some design features when constructing an object:

The construction of baths has long gone beyond the framework of standard projects containing traditional elements, such as a steam room, a washing room and a dressing room. More and more, customers are giving preference to buildings equipped with spacious terraces with the possibility of a barbecue or a large fireplace, wide gyms with running tracks, swimming pools and a plunge pool. Original, mostly non-standard projects are submitted for development by modern customers.

The most popular megaproject at the present stage. The existing mythical idea of the excessively expensive construction of a swimming pool has sunk into oblivion, thanks to the mass of information that developers and builders have disseminated.
