While sharing a sauna with a couple architect friends and a contractor, as the endorphins started rushing, voices started rising, and concepts became more agreed upon, I started jotting down some of the key elements about designing and building a sauna.
Elements for a great saunaTRANSLATIONS:
- outdoor shower
- double glass door to outside
- lighting: dimmers & control center to set the vibe
- nature wins
- glass to lake – all windows
- tall ceilings (in changing room)
- sound system
- deck wrap around
- symmetry
- simple, elegant treatments
- large overhangs
What can you add to this list?
