Turkish baths widely used in Anatolian Turkish Architect are built either a separate structure or a part of mosques. They have an inconspicuous exterior view. They are built as double bath having separate quarters for man and woman or as single bath.

1.1. Construction Materials: 

Even though material used varies based on features of region, in general, kabayon tasi is used.

1.2. Structural Elements:
Bathers reach dressing room (soyunmalik) passing through wind room (ruzgarlik). After undressing in this room or as in some other examples in dressing cells in intermediate story, bathers move to the second part of bath, cool room (sogukluk), through the double door against the main entrance. After staying for a while for adapting the body to sultry bath, bathers move to the third part of bath, hot room (sicaklik). After having bath either at niches with fountains in the corners or in special bathe cells if desired with the help of bath staff, patrons move to outside called showcase (camekan).

1.2.1. Dressing Room:
This place was called Apodyterium, Spoliaterium, Vestarium in ancient Rome baths. It is called showcase (camekan) in Turkish baths.
In general, dressing room is the largest parts in baths. The top of this part is covered either by a stone dome or by a ceiling with beacon. It is possible to find examples of square planned baths with dome, square planned timber baths with ceiling, rectangle planned timber baths with ceiling. 
A sofa (sedir) is placed on top of a stone or timber terrace, 1-2 meters in height and 1.5-2 meters in width, beside the walls of this room. There are small recesses beneath this sofa to place shoes and bath clogs. In some examples, there is a gallery story called Şirvan which can be used for undressing as well. Windows of dressing room are generally organized behind of sofa as a single row. In general, there is a fountain in the center of showcase, the first part of bath. 
Showcase generally is not heated. Steam control is obtained by beacon at the dome and by chimney hood on top of entrance of tepidity. 
In the entrance hall of some baths, there are buried heaters placed in an arched cell that is used for partially heating the space and mostly used for drying towels.

1.2.2. Warm Room:
Warm Room (Iliklik) is the place which was called as Tepidarium or Alipderium in ancient Rome baths. There are low marble sofas beside the walls of this room. During winter this place can be used as showcase. Channels emerging from boiler room and passing through interior bath heat the ambient by circulating in the floor and walls of cool room. On the side parts of this room, lavatories and commodes separated with low partitions are placed. Besides adapting the body to sultry bath, cool room is used also for ritual cleansing and used by those with low tolerance to hot bath.
Warm Room which is a transition region between dressing room and hot room may have different plans. Square planned-cross vault covered, nacelle vaulted, rectangle planned double dome covered are the typical examples for warm room.

1.2.3. Hot Room:
This part constituting the interior bath is called as Sudatorium or Caldarium in ancient Rome baths. In Arabic this part is called as havlara.

Interior bath is divided into two parts; the first part is generally small cells in the corners of room. These are called halvet. In most of examples they don’t have doors. Entrance is closed with towels. The second part is common bathing niches between these cells. These are called as fountain (kurna başı). Temperature of cells is increased by steam inlets on the wall. Side walls of these bathing niches and cells are enclosed by marble sofas, 0.2 meter in height and 0.7-1 meter in width. On top of these sofas, fountains with cold and hot water installations are placed. Waste water collected in uncovered channels along the edges of sofas is transmitted to the lavatory passing through cooling room. Walls of the bath might be covered partially or completely with marbles depending on level of bath. Walls of simple baths might be only plastered,

In the center of bath, 0.2 meter high polygon marble stone is placed for relaxation, sweating and massage, which is called göbek taşı. This region is illuminated with small panes on domes. Being closest to the boiling room, the hottest place is the interior bath. Channels emerging from boiler room and passing through interior bath heat the ambient by circulating in the floor and walls of cool room.

Hot Room, the most important part of bath, can be constructed in a variety of forms. In general, square planned dome covered examples are common.
In this common type, central region of square planned hot room is covered with a dome while cells are covered with smaller domes.

1.2.4. Boiler Room:
This part is called as Haypocausten in ancient Rome baths. This part constitutes the heating center behind the structure. Boiler room works also as the water distribution center. In this part, a water tank is placed for cold water distribution and another one for hot water.
Sections of Boiler Room;

Fireplace; also called burner. It is linked to woodshed.

Hellish (Cehennemlik); the part consisting of hot air columns circulating beneath the floor of bath except for dressing room.

Water Reservoir; is the metal boiler over the burner. Two low walls are placed on both side of this boiler which is also in water. While hot water is rising, cold water flows downwards through the inlets on these walls.

Chimney (Tüteklik); Fire and smoke leaving the burner exists from this chimneys on the walls after circulating beneath the floor. 
Bath floor seats on 0.7-1.5 meters high footings of 0.4-0.5 square meter area. Marble panels rest on arches seating on these footings, hence panels are not directly exposed hot steam. Temperature of bath is regulated without thermostat.

Temperature of hot room is around 30-40°C (85-105°F). Temperature in the cells near the boiler room can go beyond 40°C. Temperature of cold room is around 20-30°C (65-85°F).

1.3. Lightening:
Turkish baths are inconspicuous structures enclosed with blind walls for the purpose of functionality. Nevertheless, in Classical Ottoman Bath there are windows on the walls of dressing room.

Turkish baths are illuminated with circular, hexagonal, octagonal and star shaped beacons and panes located on different sized arches and domes covering the bath.
Light is provided in dressing room by a large beacon with different shapes, while in warm and hot room by panes (fil gozu).

In addition to this natural lightening, in some of the baths some recesses (çırağman) are provided for illumination.
