Unedited renderings, Unfortunately my Vray wasn’t working so I resorted to photoshopping every texture manually.

Research on No.2 Bathhouse
From checking the pool’s website I’ve found the type of mineral they use and they’ve also given instructions on what you can do to get the most “healing” from the bath.
“To take full advantage of the mineral water and it’s potential benefits, swim and shower before using the bath house to retain the minerals on your skin.
The mineral water is made up on silica, bicarbonate and keeps the skin soft.”

Upon light research on the history of bathhouses in New Zealand, I have found this news article from 2018 about the restoration of the country’s oldest bathhouse.
What really stood out to me was the range of colours that was used, with Japanese bathhouses, they often use clean minimal looking tiles and with Turkish bathhouses, concrete of patterned tiles. But the colours of this bathhouse really exudes the feeling or the essence of being in New Zealand
I also thought having the barriers felt restrictive considering the bathhouse is a public space, the railings felt as though it was limiting the amount of people that could go in and didn’t really much feel like a space for everyone, It felt more like a private pool or a private bathhouse.
The way that the pool itself is structured is off putting for some,
With usual bathhouses or shared bathing spaces, they’re usually circular to give the sense of “sharing” or a wide square shape, the rectangular shape of the bath house above feels enclosed and more intimate than an average bath house.
However the warm tones and the potted plant in the corner says otherwise, with the warm tone of the tiles, it reminded me of being home and just gives off a comfortable vibe, different to what a pristine white space or a concrete filled space.

Self reflection #1
From Rafik’s lecture today, The sentence I took away was when he said to “ Design a bathhouse that’s in Aotearoa” and I really thought it was helpful to say that because from my experience and from what I see in others as well, everyone gets caught up with mainstream aesthetics or other culture’s aesthetic that they forget their roots or even where they’re based, creating something that doesn't suit it’s environment.
From this reflection, I’ve shifted my view from “make something cool inspired by artists and buildings from another country” to “create something that reflects Aotearoa.”

UOA site visit
For our site visit, we went to UOA and checked out this area.
Inside it, there’s two pipes that has water constantly flowing and it all collects in a little pool at the bottom.
Looking at the sides, we can see some moss starting to grow. It amazes me how even in a tiny space, or even a crevice, there could be an entire ecosystem. And I really love that quality about water, It fuels life around it
Some weed growing out the crevice of the bricks.
