Public Luxury Part 2 Project 2025 Zoe Ingram London School of Architecture | UK This reimagining of Haggerston Baths provides sensory richness through shared infrastructure— breathing purified air, feeling plant-regulated humidity, and inhabiting seasonally responsive spaces. The bathhouse provides an ideal test typology; originally designed as an actively controlled environment for public health. This thesis proposes an expanded understanding of the environment, encompassing dynamic relationships between plants, humans, and existing building systems. Rather than deferring to mechanical climate control, the project explores symbiosis to create dynamic microclimates with curated atmospheric qualities within the historic bathhouse framework.The project transforms the traditional public bath into a living ecosystem where environmental quality becomes a collective resource. By integrating phytoremediation systems, responsive plant communities, and adaptive building technologies, it creates spaces that breathe, purify, and respond to seasonal cycles. The aim is to democratize access to optimal environmental conditions— clean air, balanced humidity, natural light modulation— typically reserved for private luxury spaces.The resulting scheme represents a shift from public facilities as basic service provision to environmental abundance, where air quality, light, humidity, and sensory experience become accessible public rights. Users inhabit spaces that actively improve their wellbeing while contributing to urban ecological health. The bathhouse becomes a prototype for civic architecture that operates as both social infrastructure and environmental remediation system, demonstrating how public buildings can function as agents of collective care and atmospheric commons.
