Profiles
Three profiles: a villa on the sun, a hotel by the cliffs and a house in the rain
Illustrative composites, labelled as such, with plausible scopes, modest specifications and the problems each site really raises. Use them to compare, not to cite.
Villa on the Costa del Sol
A four-seat corner-glass sauna and a 38/4 pair on a sloping terrace, for a villa let all year.

Boutique hotel in the Algarve
Two six-seat glass saunas and one long cold pool in a limestone courtyard, with a documented plant.

Coastal home in the west of Ireland
A dark-timber glass sauna and a slate plunge pool on a weatherproof deck, for a family that swims all year.

How to use a profile
- To compare scope. Each profile lists what was built and what was left out.
- To see the problem the site posed. The slope, the wind, the corridor: the sentences that start with “the catch”.
- To check a range. Each ends with the indicative figure for its scope, from the same price list you can read.
- To ask for something closer. Send your plan and we draw it onto your own site.

Not one of the three is a named client, and none quotes an owner. They are drawn from the kinds of site this equipment is made for, so that the decisions can be read without a reference that cannot be checked.
