FULL CUSTOM SAUNA PROJECT
Bending With The North Winds
That Minnesota fresh mossy morning air you get when you are out at the cabin. This custom sauna project brought the family a genuine work of art and a showcase of their property, right on the cliff’s edge of Lake Superior.

Story Driven Design
Take yourself to the coldest day on the winter North Shore. The blackness of the night while you look out into the -30 degree air. The waves, never ending voice always heard but not seen. The howling of the winds caught in the jagged shore. Stepping into the dim lit warmth, the fire dancing off the windows reflection.
A sauna on the cliffs edge of Lake Superior transports you to another world. A humbling peace in the shadow of a giant.
A Masterpiece
Resonating with the waves
Saunas can look all the same. It can be difficult to truly find a unique design that stretches beyond the boxed walls we have come to know.
This project challenged us. An empty canvas with one goal in mind, design a sauna that could live up to the view it would overlook. Bringing together a custom centerpiece curved bench that would wrap around the interior space, brought us closer to the water, the rolling waves connecting the sauna to the view.

It depends on what you are searching for! If you want to rest, 15 to 30 minutes is plenty of time. If you want to cleanse and enhance your skin, 15 to 20 minutes is perfect. If you’re an athlete, resting for 15 to 20 minutes after exercise can help minimize muscular pain and improve circulation.

Factors like weight, age, and exposure duration affect calorie burn in a sauna, with a 30-minute session potentially burning 100-300 calories. Harvard Health found that infrared saunas can burn up to 1.5 calories per minute, while the American Council on Exercise estimates 50-150 calories in a hot session.

- Listen to Your Body: If you feel uncomfortable, exit the sauna! It is better to prevent than to cure.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink water before, during, and after your sauna session to replace lost fluids.
- Session Duration: Two to three sessions per week, each lasting 15 to 20 minutes, is a decent start.
- Sauna Etiquette: Shower before entering, dress lightly or with a towel for comfort, and keep talking to a minimal for a peaceful atmosphere.

The short answer is yes—with some restrictions. Saunas generally promote weight reduction by sweating, which allows the body to shed water weight momentarily. During a typical 30-minute sauna session, you can lose roughly 0.1 to 0.6 kg (0,22 to 1,32 pounds). However, this is primarily water weight, which will return as you rehydrate.

Sauna bathing offers numerous health benefits, including weight control, hormonal balance, cardiovascular health benefits, musculoskeletal pain relief, muscle pain reduction, respiratory system benefits, and relaxation. It promotes a deep state of relaxation, reduces stress, and improves overall well-being.

Sauna baths are safe for most healthy individuals, but precautions are needed for those with specific conditions like acute infections, heart problems, or fever. Heat exposure can affect certain drugs’ pharmacokinetics, so high blood pressure medicines should be taken before use. Also, saunas are safe for children to use under adult supervision.
