BackYard is a compact, prefabricated bathhouse designed for both private and small-group use. It reinterprets the ritual of bathing as a minimal and mobile architecture — a space where geometry, heat, and atmosphere converge into one continuous gesture.
The structure consists of six prefabricated elements that form a square footprint on the ground. Inside, the space unfolds upward, transforming the square base into a circular dome — a movement from earth to sky, from structure to light. This transformation defines not only the form but the experience itself: architecture becomes a passage between the tangible and the ethereal.
The folded wooden shell refracts light and steam, creating a warm and intimate interior. All technical systems — heating, water, and storage — are integrated within the hollow walls, allowing full autonomy and rapid assembly.
