SAUNABIVAK – Mobile CLT Sauna

An outdoor sauna, in terms of its size and details, is halfway between a building and a piece of furniture. Sauna bathing is a communal activity close to nature. The studio sees that socially, culturally and economically, functioning in the community means the future, so they consider it important to support this with an architectural tool. Sauna bathing can be a community-forging activity, and can be operated without special infrastructure conditions. Firewood and a nice environment are required, the rest is up to the company. It can be used in both rural and urban environments. The characteristic part of the building with a floating effect, is the four slender legs. This character trait was called for by mobility because with these legs you can lift the structure off the trailer and adjust its height depending on the terrain, so it is not necessary to use a crane. The size and weight of the sauna comply with the towing rules of the European road section, so on-site work is not necessary. Due to road size restrictions, no more than 8 people can use our sauna product at the same time.
