Liljeholmsbadet is a floating bathhouse from 1930, designed by architect Gunnar Leche, moored at Bergsunds Strand in Hornstull. With its classical 1920s architecture and 16-metre pool, it served as a public bathhouse for nearly ninety years before closing in 2016.
The project proposes a transformation into a municipal spa — a place for public health, rest and recovery. The design preserves the original architecture while creating new spatial conditions for movement, calm, and contemplation.
Light and water are treated as active design materials. Cyanotype photography — an analog process using iron-based solution exposed to sunlight — was developed on tiles, textiles, and birch wood, creating patterns that follow the movement of light across the pool throughout the day.
