Dún Laoghaire Saltwater Spa Part 1 Project 2016 Rebecca Thompson Ulster University | UK A therapeutic saltwater spa proposed on the site of disused Victorian baths in Dún Laoghaire, Ireland. In a bid to bring a new experience to this area of coastline, the design is influenced by the choreography of bathing in Japanese and Scandinavian culture, experience of which was completed first hand. The spa manifests as a journey of gradual immersion, away from urban landscape down to a solitary commune with the horizon. Rebecca Thompson Tutor(s) James Luke
