finnish firm rintala eggertsson architects designed 'kaluga floating sauna'
as part of the 'festival of landscape objects' held in russia in july 2008.
the firm along with international architects; norman foster, francois roshe,
vladimir plotkin, sergey scuratov, tatan kuzembaev were all invited to create
structures based on the theme of a house built on water.

for their 'kaluga floating sauna' they designed a short term floating house
which could be used as a shelter for 3 – 6 persons within several days.
their sauna floated down the ugra river and was later transported to the
zvizhi village in russia where it has become part of a permanent museum exhibit
and are now used as guest houses.
