This 2-person custom sauna was thoughtfully designed for efficient heat, comfort, and authentic Finnish performance in a compact footprint.

At 174.4 cubic feet, the space heats quickly and evenly, powered by a 6kW Harvia electric heater for reliable, clean heat and smooth, steady löyly.

The interior is finished in premium Western Red Cedar, chosen for its durability, natural aroma, and traditional sauna feel. The exterior is wrapped in pine for a clean, classic look that blends beautifully into backyard or cottage settings.

A 12” x 36” thermopane window adds natural light while maintaining insulation efficiency, creating an open feel without sacrificing heat performance.

Designed for flexibility and comfort, the sauna features:

  • 20” wide upper bench

  • 20” wide lower bench

  • Sliding lower bench system for easier access and adaptable seating

This build combines traditional sauna principles with practical modern design — simple, efficient, and built to last.
