A Place to Bathe

I researched a Turkish Hamam and based my design off of that. The design is simple. I used tiles for the majority of the materials. The ramp, the pool floor, the walls, the ceiling, etc. The design is geometric because this was a pattern that I saw in all of the Turkish design that I researched. The walls curve and then the ceiling makes a geometrical "dome".
