Saunas are amazing. We built one in the past, and love the experience of sweating inside of smooth cedar walls.

This reclaimed version was made with secondhand materials, making it eco-friendly and affordable, as virgin clear cedar is quite expensive.

For those who prefer a ready-made option, Premium Saunas offers a curated range of outdoor cedar models that capture the same warmth and natural appeal without the build time.

Designed by Tomáš Dvořák and Lenka Bažíka, the sauna’s frame is made from old crate pallets, and repurposed insulation made from wool fill the walls.

A small plunge pool outside is made from a repurposed mining cart.

Simple, clean and effective, the sauna is more utilitarian than elegant, but it shows that up-cycling has no limits.
