Small Space Sauna and Steam: Tris Shower Cabin

2008-03-04-tris.jpgDesigned to fit in the length of a bath tub, here is a multi-functional "shower cabin". The Tris contains a shower with hydro massage, a steam bath and a sauna...

 
 

...all housed in this high tech meets old-school wooden structure.

Shower Options include Normal rain from 11 overhead nozzles, Tropical rain with uses 8 overhead mist nozzles and Hydro massage which uses 6 lateral body jets.

A Hygrometer measures the precise level of humidity inside the cabin, where temperature during a steam ranges from 45 - 60 degrees Celsius and humidity reaches 100%. Essential oils can be added to the the steam for aromatherapy treatments.

An Iroko wood bucket and ladle are used to pour water on the the burning volcanic stones in the stove for an authentic sauna.

The Tris Shower Cabin is by Ideal Standard and is currently available in the UK - we couldn't dig up any US dealers.

This is nice. I looked at adding the Duravit Multifunction shower to my loft two years ago and it was pricey - upwards of $30k including architectural/plumbing costs.

Hopefully this is not as expensive.

Cheers!

I prefer the Ideal Standard bathroom designs in the UK to the ones IS sells in the US: maybe someone can tell me where to buy them over here?

they have two suites of furniture for the bathroom which are minimal and utilitarian:

and they have a much wider range of modern sinks/toilets/baths than in the US.
