Residential
Circular Design
This Circular Design was a true labour of love. Originally designed as a model, this sauna features a two-tiered, semi-circular bench curved around a large woodburning heater. Made from natural cedar, this sauna fits 6–8 people comfortably. The angled walls provide the ultimate relaxation while the elevated floor and round interior gives it a cozy, cabin-like feel. A special sauna experience!

Residential
Rectangular Design
This Rectangular Design features a nice contrast with light Hemlock and burned Shou sugi ban cedar. For the ultimate experience, we placed two heaters — an electric and a woodburning one — to give the option of what kind of heat you prefer each time when you go to relax into a sauna.
