Seamless Integration with Modern Interiors

Designed for a discerning homeowner, this indoor sauna is seamlessly integrated into a thoughtfully curated space beside a contemporary wet room. The harmony between the sauna and its surroundings is unmistakable, with minimalist fixtures, soft cream walls, and a striking arched doorway coming together to create a cohesive, elegant atmosphere. 

The arched doorway, framed in golden brown thermo aspen and fitted with toughened bronze-tinted glass, adds an architectural softness, transforming the space from purely functional to effortlessly refined. 

Premium Materials, Timeless Aesthetics

The sauna is crafted from thermo alder, a thermally modified wood known for its dimensional stability, rich, warm tone and resistance to moisture. The STS4 profile provides clean vertical lines, enhancing the sauna’s minimalist appeal. 

Floating Bench System for an Effortless Look

A two-tiered, floating bench arrangement runs along the back wall, constructed in matching thermo alder. By mounting the benches onto the side walls, the design eliminates visible framework beneath, resulting in a clean, airy finish. 

An ergonomically designed freestanding step complements the setup, providing easy access to the upper bench. Angled backrests offer enhanced comfort, allowing users to recline and fully immerse themselves in the warmth. 

A two-tiered floating bench set-up is popular in modern saunas. An additional safety guard has been built in front of the electric heater. 

State-of-the-Art Heating with HUUM HIVE Mini

At the heart of the sauna sits the HUUM HIVE Mini 9kW electric heater, chosen for both its performance and aesthetic harmony with the space. The sleek, stainless steel construction with a minimalist, nature inspired design makes the HIVE work in any sauna. The heater has a 150 kg capacity of sauna stones, ensuring an enveloping heat and soft, consistent steam when water is poured onto the hot sauna stones. 

Controlled with the UKU Wi-Fi, the homeowner can preheat and manage the sauna from anywhere using a smartphone. This combination of artisanal design and smart functionality ensures every sauna session is both luxurious and effortless. 

The beehive inspired design of the HUUM HIVE emphasises the natural beauty of the sauna stones, which provide a rich and gentle steam. 

Lighting That Enhances the Mood

Lighting is a vital component of any wellness experience. In this sauna, the discreet SAAS Highline Viiva LED lighting is expertly integrated behind the backrests and beneath the bench lips. 

The warm ambient glow casting from the lights highlights the natural beauty of the timber. Additionally, the lights are designed to withstand both high heat and moisture, creating a calming, spa-like atmosphere. 

Thoughtful Details that Define Luxury

Every detail in this sauna has been carefully considered to balance form and function. The arched bronze glass door creates a striking focal point, visually linking the sauna to the adjacent shower and softening the room. Its curve mirrors the entry to the shower, introducing a sense of continuity, while lending a subtle, inviting character to the clean, modern interior. The colour palette of bronze, golden-brown and white reinforces the impression a well-curated, high-end wellness space within the home. Inside the sauna, the bespoke heater guard not only ensures safety but also enhances the overall aesthetic, allowing the HUUM heater to ingrate into its surroundings.

The arched bronze glass door forms a seamless connection between the sauna and shower, its elegant curves softening the entry point.
