A competition proposal for public baths stepping down the slope towards Lake Annecy.
The proposal places a public bath between Annecy’s old town and the lake. Rooms are set into the slope, with pools and terraces stepping towards the water.
A route through the baths
The plan links steam rooms, warm baths, cold pools and places to rest. Views are used selectively: a long opening towards the lake, roof light over a pool, and a low window framing the mountains.
Limestone gives the proposal a consistent material character. The depth of the walls and the position of each opening shape the light inside, from enclosed bathing rooms to the open terraces.
