Bathhouse Reflections

This is the Sultan Amir Ahmad Bathhouse in Kashan, Iran. It is a traditional Iranian public bathhouse. The main hall has a large octagonal layout with an octagonal pool in the middle, separated by eight pillars from an outer section. The symmetry of the room in combination with the carefully chosen decorations and colours provide a calm and relaxed atmosphere within the room.
