just in time for the winter months, swiss practice BUREAU A and swiss artist jérémie gindre have conceived and installed a sauna amidst the rooftops of geneva, switzerland. situated upon the roof of the old kugler factory, a small levitating house is perched upon three beams and accessed with an elevated pathway. the structure will keep its visitors warm or in warmer months serve as a writing room with views to the poplar trees which encompass the industrial site.
