A sauna in the trees

A woodland lot is the classic sauna setting, and these profiles are drawn to suit it: wood-fired for independence from the grid, often built from locally milled timber, and detailed with the chimney clearances a treed site demands. Passive, powerless ventilation keeps them simple and self-reliant far from services.

The reward is a sauna that belongs to its surroundings and needs almost nothing from the outside world. The trade-offs are the ones that come with wood heat and remote sites — fuel, tending and careful siting among combustibles — all of which the remote and off-grid profiles address in detail.
