Voloshyn

About

The “Voloshyn” project is a public clay bathhouse built using a unique construction approach. Initially, there was an old, non-functional gazebo on this site. During the renovation, walls were added, the roof was rebuilt, a chimney was installed, and the structure was fully coated with natural clay, transforming it into a fully functional bathhouse.

One of the standout features of the project is the automated steam and cold mist system, which allows for precise control of temperature and humidity, enhancing the overall bathing experience.

The bathhouse features a custom-made professional stove by “Kuvaldo”, which was coated with clay to enhance thermal efficiency and give it an authentic, traditional appearance.

The design and interior have been carefully crafted to reflect cultural and artistic heritage:

The wall decorations incorporate unique Trypillian ornaments, carefully collected and adapted for this project.
The interior includes solid wood slabs, used for special massage and steaming tables.
These tables feature a “second breath” system, which supplies fresh air to the face during procedures, ensuring maximum comfort for bathers.
Additionally, a dedicated aroma-steaming bench allows for relaxation treatments with natural essential oils and herbs.

Energy efficiency

  • Clay walls provide natural thermal insulation, allowing the bathhouse to retain heat efficiently while minimizing energy consumption.
  • The automated steam and cold mist system helps optimize the microclimate, ensuring an energy-efficient bathing process.

Ecological materials

  • The primary building material is clay mixed with straw, applied over a wooden frame with a lath structure.
  • The construction used innovative insulation materials, developed by the Kharkiv Institute for Strategic Structure Protection, making the bathhouse durable and resistant to cracking.
  • All materials are natural and eco-friendly, creating a healthy indoor environment.

The “Voloshyn” project is a one-of-a-kind public clay bathhouse, combining traditional craftsmanship, advanced engineering, and cultural heritage. The use of automated systems, natural materials, and ancient Trypillian ornamentation makes this bathhouse a truly unique space with no equivalent in the world.
