The world's first floating sauna in recycled aluminium

Описание: World's first floating sauna in recycled aluminium makes a big splash in the heart of Oslo. The latest addition to Oslo’s ever growing fleet of floating saunas features a universal design to accommodate everyone, regardless of ability, and an innovative façade made of recycled aluminium from Hydro. The new flagship of the Oslo Sauna Association was unveiled on May 15, 2024. Since 2016, the Oslo Sauna Association has worked to make Norway’s capital an urban hotspot by implementing its vision to “bring sauna to the people.” Thanks to an innovative collaboration between the association, renowned Spanish architectural firm eStudio Herreros, and aluminium and renewable energy company Hydro, the vision has boiled down to ‘Trosten,’ a floating sauna that combines sustainable design and material use with promoting social inclusion. Trosten is the world's first floating sauna clad in aluminium, a material with ideal properties for an object exposed all year long to the Nordic climate. It is highly resistant to corrosion, which ensures long lasting durability in a harsh seawater environment. Hydro CIRCAL, used in Trosten's construction, contains a minimum 75 percent recycled post-consumer aluminium scrap, which drastically reduces the carbon footprint. Trosten’s main attribute is its universal design, featuring access ramps and spacious interiors to accommodate people of all abilities. This makes it a long awaited addition to the highly popular Sukkerbiten sauna village, located right in front of the Munch Museum in Bjørvika, Oslo.
