Temperature Sequence: The Order of Hot, Cold, and Rest

Temperature sequence: the order of hot, cold, and rest.
A residential wet area floor plan arranged according to temperature. The space is divided into three adjacent sections in sequence: the innermost is the hot zone—a steam room or sauna, with the highest temperature, most enclosed, and no windows; the middle section is the cold zone—a cold shower area or a small plunge pool, immediately adjacent to the hot zone, just a few steps away; the outermost is the resting zone—a bench to lie on, a glass of water, and a window with a view of greenery, where the temperature returns to ambient. The order of the three sections cannot be reversed, as the logic of use is to reach extreme heat, immediately cool down, and then lie down to let the heart rate decrease. The flooring material changes with temperature: wood in the hot zone, stone in the cold zone, and warm underfloor heated stone in the resting zone. Avoid: scattering the three areas, making the cold zone too far from the hot zone, omitting the resting zone and only doing hot and cold, making the sequence cold before hot.

一個依照溫度排列的住宅濕區平面配置。空間被切成三段並依序相鄰:最裡面是熱區——蒸氣間或烤箱,溫度最高、最封閉、沒有窗;中段是冷區——一個沖冷水的淋浴位或一個小的浸泡池,緊鄰熱區只有幾步的距離;最外側是休息區——一張可以躺的長凳、一杯水、一扇看得到綠的窗,溫度回到常溫。三段的順序不能顛倒,因為使用的邏輯是熱到極限、立刻冷卻、然後躺著讓心跳降下來。地坪的材質隨溫度改變:熱區是木、冷區是石、休息區是溫熱的地暖石材。避免:把三個區域打散配置、讓冷區離熱區太遠、省略休息區只做熱與冷、把順序做成冷在熱之前。
