Community is at the heart of this new business. We wanted to bring a hub to this hidden corner of Hove that would bring people together whilst doing something good for users. Socialising is evolving with wellbeing at the fore front and what better way to hook Up with pals or meet new ones than at a sauna.
The Engineerium site is a buzz of activity – with many independent businesses, freelance therapists and new an indoor skatepark on site.
