HONDA The Power of Dreams

Sato : How about adding a skylight that allows the stars of the night sky to shine down on us to enhance your sense of being one with the universe? I would also like to install a telescope on the bench outside so that we can enjoy stargazing after the sauna.
Kanki : The environment in the desert is harsh, so it may be necessary to consider the material for the sauna's outer wall. It would be nice to have a system that controls the room temperature using eco-friendly materials.
Sawai : And this is a desert. Water is precious. But a cold bath is essential for a sauna. A system that allows water to be reused is essential. I would like to have a calming experience in the desert where I can become one with the universe.

This sauna can also be used as an art installation. During the day, the mirrored exterior walls reflect the desert landscape, and at night, the sauna emits light from within, creating a new space in the desert as an object of light.
How about incorporating digital art into the sauna to further enrich the desert sauna experience? A projector is installed on the wall and displays beautiful natural scenes such as the starry sky of space, the ocean floor, and forests, making you feel as if you are in a different world.
This sauna allows you to experience the vast desert and the cosmos at the same time, so why not make it available as a retreat place for meditation or yoga? The tranquility of the desert provides the ideal setting for introspection and spiritual refreshment.

The reason for building saunas in the desert is to provide a unique experience. Desert saunas are appealing to those seeking an escape from everyday life as a place to experience the ultimate in peace and solitude. It also offers a very enriching experience as you can enjoy the view under the starry sky at night and the endless desert landscape during the day.
As deserts are extreme environments, they provide opportunities for new challenges for people. You can also develop mental strength by testing your limits through the sauna. It also has value as a unique natural therapy. Dry air and sunlight are known to have beneficial effects on the body and mind. It also functions as part of an eco-tourism initiative, utilizing environmentally friendly and sustainable construction techniques.

As the bright desert sun begins to set and stars fill the sky, the “Illusional Oasis” sauna provides a magical haven. When you open the wooden door, the natural scent of wood wafts through the air, and warmth envelopes your entire body. In this place, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, the hot steam penetrates deep into your body, and the accumulated fatigue quickly evaporates.
Relax on the bench where you can feel the warmth of the wood and look out at the scenery outside. The endless sand dunes oscillate between orange and purple for a short period of time between sunset and night. The heat of the sauna, the desert air, and then the starry sky envelope your whole body, blurring the line between reality and fantasy.
Feeling one with the universe, the moment you “feel revitalized'' in the “Illusional Oasis” sauna is a truly out-of-this-world experience. Under the starry sky visible from the sauna window, your mind is freed to the seemingly infinite expanse of the universe. You will feel strongly that you are a part of this universe, and your body and mind will be attuned to the rhythm of the universe.
