Some places are not designed merely to be used. They are designed for slowing down. <\/p>\n\n
The aim of this sauna house was to create a private and comfortable retreat where quality construction, warm materiality and carefully considered technical solutions work together towards one clear purpose: to give people a place they want to return to. A place to slow down, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy silence, warmth, water and space. <\/p>\n\n
The completed sauna house is not simply a separate building in the garden. It is a complete lifestyle space that includes a steam room, washing area, toilet, technical systems, terrace, shelter and hot tub area. Every part of the solution was designed so that the sauna could be used comfortably throughout the year. <\/p>\n\n
The building was constructed on a strong and well-planned foundation. The base was filled with crushed stone in several fractions, the floor was insulated with 200 mm EPS insulation, reinforced with a double layer of 8 mm steel mesh and finished with a poured concrete slab, which was later polished. The walls were built from Bauroc 150 blocks and finished externally with a render system and a black colour solution, giving the sauna house a calm, modern and architectural appearance. <\/p>\n\n
Inside, both thermal performance and the right sauna atmosphere were essential. The sauna was insulated internally with PIR boards, followed by battens and thermally modified cladding. Thermally modified aspen was used in the steam room, while thermally modified pine was used in the anteroom. Additional insulation and foil were added to the steam room ceiling to ensure that the space performs correctly from a technical point of view and retains heat efficiently. <\/p>\n\n
At the heart of the steam room is an 18 kW Grilt\u2019z sauna heater. The heater output was selected with the glass door and window in mind, as both require additional capacity to ensure that the steam room reaches the desired temperature reliably and comfortably. The chimney penetration was completed using a sandwich pipe system. The sauna bench was custom-built from thermally modified aspen, using special 28 \u00d7 95 mm bench boards. <\/p>\n\n
The steam room floor was tiled with 10 \u00d7 10 cm tiles, with slopes formed to direct water into the floor drain. Hot and cold water were brought into the room, and taps were installed to allow water to be taken or used for rinsing. In the washing area, large-format 60 \u00d7 120 cm porcelain tiles were used, waterproofing was completed and electric heating mats were installed to keep the floor warm and comfortable underfoot. <\/p>\n\n
The shower solution includes a ceiling-mounted rainfall shower, a handheld shower and a push-button system for switching between modes. LED lighting and a television were also installed. The technical control units for the lighting were placed in a separate panel in a cooler room to ensure system reliability and prevent overheating. <\/p>\n\n
The sauna house includes supply and extract ventilation, with fan-assisted solutions where needed, its own toilet and a boiler for hot water. Electricity and water supply are connected from the main house. The roof was finished with a Click seam metal roofing system. <\/p>\n\n
Outside, a shelter and terrace were built to extend the sauna experience from indoors to the outdoor area. The hot tub area was paved with concrete pavers to make the space clean, durable and comfortable to use. The hot tub drainage was connected to the stormwater drainage system. <\/p>\n\n
The result is a private sauna complex where technical quality and emotional value are in balance. It is a place where a morning can begin with a quiet coffee on the terrace and an evening can end with hot steam and a relaxing soak in the hot tub. A place that does not simply add square metres to a home, but creates moments that are truly remembered. <\/p>\n\n
