A close friend asked us if we would help him build a sauna. Our response: Who wouldn’t want to do that?!
This was a special project for a beloved customer whose design sensibility is matchless. We started with a basic design and honed it as we worked. We were all excited when we installed the antique, leaded glass windows and matched them with new lead flashing. From the large overhang in the back (that would later cover a tub and a shower) to the reveals on the corner boards, the details were thoughtfully worked out with the customer.
a sweet project…
…and the warmth of friendship
Our shared goal for this project was to create a beautiful structure where friends could relax, talk, and share the ups and downs of their lives, and we wanted this sauna to reflect the love that friends have for one another. We also wanted it to work. A sauna is a special structure that must be able to retain heat upwards of 200 degrees and do so safely. Placement of the stovepipe, through the ceiling and out the roof, was done with the utmost care and precision.
