Gosaikunda, with the extreme mountain scenery of Langtang Valley and the emerald lake, is far away from the town, and the construction of the bath should involve both mountain and water, heat and wind in the design.

At the center of the building is the energy core system, which utilize hot spring and geothermal energy resources to provide indoor heating, hot water for the bath, and conversion of geothermal energy into electricity . Below the thermal core is a sewage treatment center, where the excrement from the washroom and the waste water from the pool are purified and not toxic , and discharged to provide nutrients for vegetation and food for fish.

The sloped roof is equipped with several rows of photovoltaic panels. The electricity converted by solar energy makes this place a bright habitat.On the opposite roof , a rainwater intake is set up, which provides continuous clean water for daily life by collecting, purifying and storing snow melt and rainwater.

A circular wooden building not only integrates with the mountain and lake, but also makes full use of the energy of the site to form a complete energy cycle.
