Bespoke Commercial Indoor Sauna Installation: The Arc, Canary Wharf, London

This meticulously crafted, 65-person bespoke commercial sauna is at the core of an innovative communal wellness club, designed to bring people together through the principles of contrast bathing, relaxation, and social connection.

A Luxurious & Thoughtfully Designed Sauna

The Arc’s bespoke sauna combines contemporary design with traditional sauna heritage. Every element has been carefully chosen to ensure durability, elegance, and optimal heat distribution, creating an unparalleled wellness environment for its guests.

Premium Timber Selection: Durability With A Modern Feel

To achieve the perfect balance of resilience and aesthetic appeal, the sauna incorporates two premium thermally modified timbers: thermo radiata pine and dark thermo alder. A ceiling feature piece extending into the wall behind the ensemble of three electric helo sauna heaters is clad in dark thermo alder Step profile, a rich, chocolate-hued wood with a toasted aroma, providing a striking visual contrast. Meanwhile, the walls feature a wide 185 mm thermo radiata pine cladding profile, chosen for its stability and knot-free structure. Thermo radiata pine is also used for the benches extending along the side and back walls of the space.

Powerful & Efficient Heating From Finland

At the heart of Arc’s sauna are three Helo Magma 26kW commercial electric sauna heaters, positioned centrally at the front of the room for even and effective heat distribution. These high-performance heaters are encased in tiling that matches the floor, ensuring a clean, cohesive aesthetic. The design of the Magma heaters, with their 80 kg stone capacity and efficient energy use, creates a soft steam for the large area of this sauna.

Spacious Bench System

To accommodate up to 65 guests, the sauna boasts a three-tiered, U-shaped bench system that wraps around the walls, ensuring ample space for communal relaxation and workshops. The benches are designed with comfort in mind, while making the most of the available space. Thermo pine was selected for the benches, skirting and supporting backrests to ensure both resistance to the demanding conditions and aesthetic appeal with a modern touch.

Saas Sauna Lighting Technology for a Warm and Inviting Ambience

A premium SAAS lighting system has been meticulously integrated to enhance the sauna’s atmosphere, combining both functional and decorative lighting elements.

• SAAS Sauna Viiva LED strips are installed behind the backrests and along the bench lips, casting a warm, natural glow. These IP55-rated lights are designed to withstand the hot and humid environment of a commercial sauna.
• SAAS ID+ sauna spotlights are positioned on the ceiling edges, creating a stunning starry effect, adding depth and elegance.
• SAAS Hot One+ heater spotlights are mounted above the electric heaters, illuminating the space with precision and enhancing the visual appeal of the central heater ensemble with their impressive stone amount. 

Additional Features for a World-Class Experience

Two glass sauna doors, located on either side of the sauna heater, offer easy access while maintaining an open and spacious feel. The Arc sauna is equipped with an integrated sound system that enriches the sensory experience, allowing guests to immerse themselves fully in the experience.

Beyond the Sauna

The Arc offers a complete wellness journey beyond the sauna itself. Guests can explore a variety of complementary features designed to enhance their relaxation and recovery:

• Eight Brass Monkey ice baths, allowing visitors to embrace the full benefits of contrast bathing.
• A stylish amphitheatre-style lounge area, fostering social connection and relaxation.
• Mixed changing rooms, designed with modern aesthetics and ultimate comfort in mind.
