German architects collective modulorbeat realized a temporary “One Man Sauna” for the the one-year international city project and art festival “”DAS DETROIT-PROJEKT” in Bochum. "One Man Sauna" was built on an abandoned factory site in Bochum: a tower of 7,5 metres height made of stacked pre-cast concrete parts, which were originally used for building shafts, houses a one-man sauna. It is divided into super-imposed functional layers: a plunge pool below, the sauna on the medium level and a relaxation room with a view of the sky on top. Vertical ladders link the three floors.
