Hotte Hü: A Community Sauna Cultivating Connections
Part of the Ufer Projects, a community garden called Hechtgruen in Dresden, wanted to build a community sauna to extend the gardens usage onto the colder winter months as well. The community saunas name, “Hotte H ü”, is a wordplay, which indirectly suggests the history of the repurposed horse trailer the sauna has been built on and the heat that can be felt inside. Constructed using eco-friendly materials such as spruce, hemp, and recycled sheet metal, the Hotte Hü embodies the community's dedication to sustainability.
