Located on the edge of idyllic Lake Segrino near Como, Italy, this bathhouse by Marco Castelletti is a sensitive addition to the surrounding nature reserve. Even before reaching the building via a bike track that rings the lake, it's presence is felt via a metal fence with slats of various sizes in a random arrangement. Through the gaps one sees the green and blue of the grass and water beyond.
