- Brief
- A bespoke Finnish sauna for a Finnish family, made to bespoke dimensions, no kit.

- 4.5 kW design for limited power, Aspen interior.
- Status
- Design approved. In production.
How we designed it
The constraint
Dubai suppliers had specified a conventional 7 kW sauna the penthouse could not support.
Sauna performance could not be solved by substituting a smaller heater into the same room. Room geometry, insulation, exposed glass, bench elevations, heater position, drainage, floor slope and ventilation all had to be recalculated together.
The design response
The final design uses a validated 3-phase 4.5 kW system, Aspen interior, bespoke dimensions, drainage for daily water use and cleaning, controlled floor slope, heater protection and a triple ventilation strategy.
Available power is not a reason to accept a weak sauna. It is a constraint that the complete room, heat load and airflow strategy must be designed around before fabrication begins.
