Dreamland Golf Club

Scope of work: the sauna cabin, steam rooms and treatment rooms

A club spa built around recovery rather than around a bathing ritual: dry heat, steam,somewhere to lie down and treatment rooms, arranged so a member coming off the course can move through the sequence without crossing the arrival route. The package covered room build-up andtanking, finishes, the sauna cabin with heater and control, the steam enclosures and generators, ventilation terminals, drainage and commissioning.

Sizing the Finnish sauna and the steam rooms for club duty

General practice sizes a cabin at roughly a kilowatt of stone-heater output per cubic metreof volume, with additions for glazing and for masonry surfaces, and a steam enclosure on volume with a correction for the finish material plus headroom for door openings. For club duty theheater is a commercial unit with serviceable elements, the control cabinet sits outside thecabin on a timer with a maximum setpoint, and benching is built in liftable sections so a damaged bench top is a replacement rather than a rebuild.

What we solved on site

Baku’s climate is hot and dry in summer and cold and windy in winter, with a Caspiancoastline that puts salt in the air. Rather than take make-up air for the thermal rooms straight from outside, we drew it from the conditioned interior, which keeps the cabin timber stable across a large annual swing and keeps salt away from the ironmongery. The package was manufactured, dry-assembled and numbered in ourIstanbul workshop and shipped as one sequencedload with a spares allowance. See services.
