aving an understanding of cultural persuasion in the construction and design industry, Frank Flynn decided to import the fifth-century hammam concept to the United States six years ago. Mr. Flynn has a design and building company based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and has worked with associate architects in Brussels and Turkey, performing due diligence, research, and development for his company Hammam Con- sultants. Mr. Flynn has been able to recreate the original concept of the fifth-century hammams and support his clients with the proper training required to run a successful authentic hammam. He is currently support- ing the Mandarin Oriental in Las Vegas and Trump Soho in New York and is about to introduce his product in Chicago and Miami.
