a. Preparation of the bath (environment - candles, salt, oil, foam, MUSIC)
4. Temperature check
b. Get in and relax
c. Final shower

LOVER Routine:

+ Positions, adjustable?
(Shower or bath or sauna or...)

SAUNA Routine
+ switch on the electric sauna / light up the woods
+ jump in after after a sauna
+ throwing water on the stones
+ enjoying the humidity and athmosphere
+ cooling down out side after a shower

+ taking a shower before going in to the sauna again
+ repetition until you feel finished.
+ continues with shower and cleaning routines

DRYING

- etc

BATHROOM´S MAINTENACE
- Drying of the space (avoid humidity)
- Tiles, joints, corners...


USES OF A BATHROOM
- Wake up shower

- Sauna
- Hamami
- Temazcal
- Regular cleansing
- Relaxing
- Love making

OBSERVATIONS
Different levels (depth) of bathing.
The deeper, the more time, the more resources you need (water, products, tools)
The process is dependent on water > Are we able to influence the process with DRY CLEANING of clothes?
Alternative to running water (steam, solvents, etc)


BRAINSTORMING
Crazy ideas to get started

ROUTINE:
- Car wash shower (automatized, non-touch, passive system)
- Passive dry (air blow, robe, other)
- Dry cleaning

FUNCTION:
- Self sustainable cycle (reuse of same water through purification)
- Self maintenance (cleaning, drying, etc)

SPACE CONSTRAINTS:
- Closet bathroom
- Rotator
- Transformer

SPECIAL FEATURES:
- "Non-touch" bathroom
- Self clean
- Climate (air conditioning, chauffage, etc)
- Adaptable to body (height, personalized regulations, enveloping materials, etc)
- Bathroom + washing machine system
- Reuse of grey waters (linked to the kitchen)
- Roller coaster jump-in
- Transparency (to see the whole trail of water)
