About this design

This tranquil indoor onsen features a large pool of naturally heated mineral water emitting thick, atmospheric steam that catches the golden morning light. The dominant palette consists of warm earthy tones: rich honey-brown wood planks on the deck and vertical wall cladding, paired with the cool grey of massive exposed concrete beams overhead. The spatial layout cleverly integrates the bathing area with the surrounding landscape, offering an unobstructed view of green trees and distant mountains through a dramatic angled opening. The mood is meditative and luxurious, blending Japanese onsen tradition with modern minimalist architecture. Soft, diffused natural lighting creates a ethereal atmosphere where steam becomes a visual element. This space perfectly suits those seeking deep relaxation, wellness retreats, or a high-end hospitality experience that reconnects guests with nature through thoughtful material selection and masterful spatial framing.

How to get this look

  • Use reclaimed or thermally modified wood for both decking and wall cladding to achieve the warm, natural texture seen here
  • Incorporate large exposed concrete beams to create dramatic contrast against the organic wood elements
  • Design an angled or cantilevered opening that frames the outdoor landscape while protecting the indoor bathing area
  • Position the pool to capture low-angle morning or late afternoon light that makes the steam glow
  • Keep the material palette strictly minimal—wood, concrete, water, and greenery only
