Step 1: Gathering Your Vision

Design questions we'll ask

1. What is your reason for wanting to buy a sauna?

Ultimately we ask, “what brought you here?” What gets you moving in life, and how can  custom home saunas resonate with your unique life. 

2. Where will your custom outdoor sauna be placed?

Understanding the location is both a technical and design necessity to ensure the ascetic fits in well. 

3. What does the nature and architecture look like?

Maybe you want your custom outdoor sauna to seamlessly disappear into nature? Or maybe you are looking for an accent center piece to draw focus. 

4. What life activities do you participate in?

Being active in sports, hunting, kayaking, watercraft or just relaxing on a beach by a fire. Crafting a sauna that meets you where you are makes all the difference. 

5. How many people will want to sauna with you?

Our sauna’s are built for life, that means considering how many people might want to join you on your sauna journey.
