For anyone wondering about the empty area behind Löyly, it used to be an industrial area and is now waiting for development. Löyly will be part of a new sea shore park and residental area of Hernesaari.
This video is so interesting. Not only are we learning about architecture, but Finnish sauna culture, Finnish society, and Finnish personalities. For those of us who have never been to Finland, it is a lesson in geography, lifestyle, and history, as well.
What is interesting, is we kinda saw Finns, learn a bit more about Finnish culture as well. Maybe more accurately, they are re learning about is, with opening up of a public sauna. A usually closed off, stand offish Finnish persona opens up.
Definitely worth a visit if you are in town, great ambiance. I had a part of my bachelor party here. We first went to the sauna, had dinner here and then headed for the nightlife in Helsinki.
I was here this past October! Had a wonderful dinner and then swam in the freezing cold water after spending time in the sauna. Amazing experience and amazing architecture.
As a finn I still find it funny that it's just a matter of time that a smoke sauna burns. Not if but when... Explaining that to people is interesting to say the least!
It's probably because of the long heating time and because soot does have a flashpoint. For anyone foreigners afraid about being trapped, smoke sauna isn't lit while used, so if it were to burn, it would be during heating.
Fun fact: The place is owned by a Finnish actor named Jasper Pääkkönen. it wouldn't normally say much to people abroad but if you're familiar with Spike Lees movie Black Klansman, he played Felix Kendricksen.
@@notsharingwithyoutube It is very remarkable how the city built an amazing library in the modern times when most countries are closing their libraries and other public spaces
Swedes and Nordic countries in general are a lot like the Japanese in terms of living and building. Their buildings always have a distinct look and are minimalist in design and functional in terms of usage. I love it.
Also somewhat in manners. Japanese have a lot more codes and layers, but Scandinavians (I would say especially Finnish) are also closed, introverted, quiet etc.
Wow this video was so peaceful and calming! That building is absolutely gorgeous. Bravo to the design team. It was so fascinating learning about the Finnish love of saunas.
Blend in with nature? Löyly is the most well-known URBAN sauna in Finland. In the middle of the BIGGEST city in Finland! There are probably hundreds of urban, public saunas in Finland. That is probably one of the biggest ones. Usually there are multiple smaller ones in a city, in stead of one big one. The countryside / "the nature" has even more saunas, but they are usually private. Or maybe "hiking saunas" in some government nature reserves.
The reason for that is that there is also a smoke sauna and we have a saying in Finland that there are two types of smoke saunas, those that have burned down and those that haven't, yet...
Not able to finish this video, but they build this 2016, there has been a public FREE sauna in sompasaari (sompa island) since 2011. It is operated by a society, and anybody can go and heat the sauna up 24/7. That is for the people, this löyly is for people with money. Not saying it's bad, but get off your high horse, architechs acting like made a public service fu.
What is a Nordic sauna? Never seen one and I thought we had em all in Finland... Is a Nordic one of those the Swedes use with max temperature at 60 degrees and clothes on you?
Do they have any public beaches on Manhattan? If so, then it might be doable. The neighbours would just have to put up with people in towels / bathing suits etc.
@@zachydan😅yeah. Maybe Pier 41 Waterfront Garden area? At least have rocks on the beach there. I have never visited in NY( have dreamed tho long time), i am Finnish, but i just had to do some google maps tours in Red Hook u named..Not bad idea..😅👍🏻👌
It's embarrassing if I get this wrong, but I think Ville is taking voguing classes in Saiffa. Double embarrassing because I don't talk to him at all 💀💀💀
The smoke sauna is preheated. Prior to anyone going in, the door is opened and the smoke is allowed to exit (at this point, nothing is burning anymore). After that the sauna relies on the stored up heat which can last for quite a long time.
Remember this video is about Helsinki and Löyly, it has nothing to do with whole culture about Finland or it is whole Finland. Helsinki is not whole Finland.
Maybe you don't know what a smoke sauna means. There is no smoke there. Although the stove does not have a chimney, the smoke is vented before bathing. On the contrary, a smoke sauna is a great experience. The heat is soft and caressing.
Well, not designed but more prone to having it happen. There's a reason that there's a general running joke in Finland about the sauna burning down every weekend.
How far up one's own .... does one have to be to think this glass, concrete, and steel structure "blends in with nature"? Have you SEEN nature recently?
@@iv1223 Did i say anything about scandinavia having been mentioned? nordic means nothing. If something is finnish, it doesnt make it nordic, meaning it has nothing to do with scandinavia
I understand u completely. As an Finn i can confirm that lot of this, nowadays so popular "Nordic/scandinavian style", that is simple, kinda cold, natural etc etc, in my view overlapping in many ways with Gulags and also Soviet style neighborhoods etc. But i am not expert about latter or design or architechs. It is just my layman opinion..
Löyly on huippu mesta arkkitehtoonisesti. Yksi suosikkejani ehdottomasti ja hyvin harvinainen siitä että innoitti itseänikin. Ainoastaan harmi että mukaan piti loppuvaiheessa sotkea taas ilmastouskonto ja muut löpinät. Aivan kuin seuraavaa sukupolvea ei tulisi riippuen Löylyn rakennustavasta tai onko kalalla joku sertti.
Oon erimieltä siksi, että Suomessa otamme nuo asiat usein itsestään selvyytenä. AD on kansainvälinen ja on tärkeä näyttää, että Suomessa näihin panostetaan ja että muuallakin kannattaa :)
Mitä haittaa sinulle on siitä, että yksittäinen rakennus on rakennettu kestävästi ja sertifioidusta puusta? Minusta on hienoa, että Pääkkönen ym. rahoittajat ja suunnittelijat näkevät ympäristön tärkeäksi asiaksi, sillä heillä on keinoja ja pääomaa tehdä asian eteen jotain. Se ei ole sinulta, eikä keneltäkään muultakaan pois.

The point is that you are cleaner AFTER the sauna. When you sweat all the sweat & dirt out in the sauna, and rinse yourself with water, your skin is very, very clean afterwards. If you have never done 3 rounds of sauna + swimming / shower, you don't even really know what "clean skin" really feels like.
@@kristie979 It is actually 23€ per person, you get 2 hours. It is the most expensive sauna in Helsinki. There are also free saunas in Helsinki, but of course they are much, much more "crappier". The city-owned public swimming halls also have multiple saunas (every one has multiple in them), and they cost 5,80€ for an adult -- 3,20 for kids.
Obviously you pay for the experience. If my disability allowed me to travel to the capital and would have the emotional well-being to expose myself, would definitely pay for all that is to be experienced.

And it's not. It is all about Helsinki. Not about Finland.

I sometimes tell people that one of the criteria for really being Finnish is to have burnt a smoke sauna. Yes, I'm in the club.

Can be also seen in the Vikings.
But still his biggest achievements are acting Saku Salin in Salkkarit, not to mention acting Matti Nykänen ;)
I love that you guys adapted your expectations when you realised what a social space you'd created :) What a beautiful building
What a beautiful sauna space!

@@Ksoism Finland isn't a part of Scandinavia, though.
An ultimate indicator of a high quality of life is having a Nordic sauna. What a luxury!
Erm...
You can have affordable ones as well.
Here you pay for the experiences.
No. Even our junkies who don't have teeth still have saunas.
Шедевр, дорогие мои финны! Как всегда всё продумано до мелочей. Kippis!

Twice.
Winter and summer😊
@@suzawilo that would be a dream!
love this for Trixie! She deservers the success after everything with Klarna
It is so natural to us finns!!! Not a big deal!!!😊
Make sure u use the bucket, its such a refreshing experience
I love the cold water bucket for those who don’t want to do the plunge or wants to get the first shock out of the way
Adding this to the bucket list
What a lovely space you guys have created. Very wholesome presentation too. Would love to visit
WOW! Wow, wow! Absolutely amazing!
I love the respect and balance between designers!
This is beautiful, I want to visit Finland just to experience this sauna..
Another place to put on my list to visit.
Probably my favourite place in the world
I've found a strong interest in the artistic architecture that I didn't realize that I had thanks to your videos on your channel. Thank you

One of my favorite places to visit. Kiitos
Ole hyvä 😁😁
Мои комплименты!!! Очень крутой проект! Финны молодцы! С легким и красивым паром! Петербург смотрит !
jes Suomi on nyt AD'ssa 💪
Eli ei torille, vaan saunaan😊
This is great , it looks seemless with the look of the shoreline
Amazing ideas and scenic views
I will one day visit this place. So beautiful and thoughtfully curated.
I really loved it! I would like to see this place one day
Fantastic... absolutely fantastic!

The original way 👨✈️
absolutely stunning architecture

Amazing. Visiting for sure!
Natural și simplu.
This was an amazing watch.

Brilliant!

okay today on beyond the press channel we are blowing up an entire sauna
Yes, Scandinavia not only gets it, but lives it: Quality over quantity
Sure, except for the lawless no-go spaces in some large cities.
Built to burn. That's wild.

Nah, it's mostly Finnish influenced saunas up here. Turkish saunas and vapor saunas are not that common
please build this in NYC
As this is a public building, I fear it would be largely taken advantage of and destroyed in the city
Hah, probably prohibited due to it being a bathing location, or due to some BS public indecency regulation. Can't show too much skin while bathing.
Do they have any public beaches on Manhattan? If so, then it might be doable.

Can we get something about BIG
Is this in espo?
He literally said Helsinki at the start of the video
0:30 Benedict Cumberbatch alter
I have to make a correction, most city people I know go to sauna only once a week.
First
Does anyone understand how a smoke sauna does not poison the inhabitants with carbon monoxide and/or smoke inhalation?
The smoke sauna is preheated. Prior to anyone going in, the door is opened and the smoke is allowed to exit (at this point, nothing is burning anymore). After that the sauna relies on the stored up heat which can last for quite a long time.
why are there these random non skippable commercials begging us for money?
Remember this video is about Helsinki and Löyly, it has nothing to do with whole culture about Finland or it is whole Finland. Helsinki is not whole Finland.

The building is amazing.. the design is... But the smoke sauna sounds like really bad idea for people's health..
