A mobile sauna in Finland, built/designed by the London-based architects Denizen Works
I felt this little cabin on skids (making it "mobile" which allowed it to be permissable by the local building ordinances) stood as what could be a great (and simple) tiny house or vacation cabin, or even a great little floating home/houseboat, aside from its obvious and intended use as a sauna. The skids enable the whole structure to be pulled onto the ice in the winter, where the sauna's occupants could open up a swim hole in the ice for a post-sweat plunge.
The building was made with locally sourced lumber, and its windows are all recycled.

How *very* unfair, to do a post of a sauna without showing the stove! I have a goal to (save up for and) build a tiny sauna, but haven't figured how to fit the stove in there.
ReplyDeleteLol....you're right....the architect didn't have any photos of it in their portfolio.....strange....
DeleteWOW! That sure a wonderful mobile sauna! A mobile sauna can be a great room to place beside a lake. The view is relaxing, and adding the sauna will make it perfect! I love how that sweat bath is giving me a lift during my stressful days. I have a sauna built at home, and it’s as small as the sauna here. Technologies are changing now, and small saunas are part of that change. I also wonder how the stove fits there, but I guess that’s a manufacturer’s secret. :D
