The Former Free Public Baths of the City of New York, now known as Bathhouse Studios, is a beautifully preserved and restored building with a rich history. Built between 1904 and 1905 in the Neo-Italian Renaissance style, the structure was designed by prominent architect Arnold W. Brunner. The newly designed studio was inspired by Japanese zen gardens, with the aim of promoting mindfulness and allowing clients to tap into their creative process.Originally built as a bathhouse in the 1890s, the historical landmarked space has been reimagined and redesigned to meet the needs of today’s creative professionals.
