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.
Take out the chatter of the city, notifications, and the errands of life, and you find yourself in tune with where you are. That is the heart of why we wanted our custom sauna to be as connected to nature around us as possible.
The signature dragon-scale pattern of Thermory Ignite cladding is created by embossing and tinting thermally modified spruce wood. Unlike modern yakisugi, which is often created by hand with a torch, Ignite is produced using a deceptively flame-free process.
The natural warm and rich finish combined with the soft smooth grain of the magnolia give a perfect interior wood finish option.
No sauna in complete without the amazing qualities of cedar. Working with long grain cedar, a higher quality, provides uninterrupted beauty with the amazing smell and long lasting quality that cedar is known for.
thermally modified ash decking provides the best natural chemical free decking that can withstand the hard climate of the Superior lakeshore while providing the natural beauty throughout the sauna interior.
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.
The end result of a captivating vision, brought to life. If you have a vision you’d like to see built, give us a call with any questions and we’re more than happy to chat.
