.kivi spa exposes an aerodynamic and also scale-like style Helsinki-based technique Atelju00e9 Sotamaa presents the Kivi Spa in the exterior Finnish archipelago. Created with mass timber, the volume's essential form mirrors the magnitude of the open sea and the isle's harsh stone landscapes. Each its own kind as well as materials were actually picked certainly not merely for their visual beauty but likewise for their functional benefits. Its aerodynamic shape and also fish-scale-like outer layer, crafted coming from bent timber boards as well as Leadax showing off, make sure the spa continues to be unrelenting versus the aspects.
