Professional / Architecture and interior design

Premium saunas integrated into architecture and interior design projects.

We collaborate with architects and interior designers to integrate the sauna at the right stage of the project: proportions, service provisions, ventilation, electrical requirements, materials and on-site execution.

Project stage Technical judgement Buildable solution
The critical point

A sauna should not be resolved at the end of a build.

When a sauna is decided late, problems emerge around proportion, ventilation, electrical services, access, materials, maintenance and aesthetic consistency. AURUM ensures the sauna forms part of the project from the outset, not as an improvised addition.

The aim is not to fit a cabin at the end. It is to define an element that is compatible with the aesthetic intent, construction system and realities of the site.

01
Proportions and dimensions

Review of the available space, heights, benches, circulation, privacy and relationship with the adjoining area.

02
Ventilation and thermal system

Air intake and extraction conditions, usable volume, heating equipment and enclosure performance.

03
Materials and finishes

Junctions between timber, glass, stone, flooring, warm lighting and the project's interior language.

04
Site coordination

Service provisions, access, installation, documentation, programme and coordination with the design team.

Professional value

A technical partner who protects the project's intent.

We work to ensure the sauna respects the architectural language, materiality and spatial experience the project requires. We do not impose a standard solution; we develop an element that is viable, coordinated and ready to manufacture.

01

Integration assessment

We assess location, scale, proportions, privacy and the relationship with the pool, suite, spa or wellness area.

02

Technical review

We review ventilation, electrical requirements, access, internal volume, maintenance and construction constraints.

03

Material detailing

We resolve timber, glass, lighting, benches, joints and junctions so the sauna remains consistent with the wider project.

04

Genuine coordination

We can work with the architect, interior designer, contractor or client according to the stage, documentation and programme.

Working method

How we collaborate with your studio.

We begin with the real context of the project to define a viable, considered and buildable solution before fabrication starts.

We review plans and layouts

We assess location, available space, circulation, privacy and the relationship with the rest of the project.

We identify technical constraints

We review ventilation, electrical requirements, internal volume, access, service provisions and maintenance.

We define the integration solution

We propose a solution consistent with the materials, proportions, lighting, glass and architectural language.

We coordinate fabrication and installation

We align fabrication, documentation, programme and installation with the project's actual delivery process.

Project stage

The earlier the sauna enters the project, the better it can be resolved.

The sauna ceases to be a risk when it is integrated into the technical development, rather than treated as an isolated decision at the end of the build.

01

Concept stage

We define location, experience, level of privacy and its place within the project's narrative.

02

Design stage

We review proportions, materials, circulation, relationship with the space and conditions of use.

03

Technical stage

We coordinate ventilation, electrical requirements, access, available space, service provisions and documentation.

04

Delivery stage

We fabricate and integrate the sauna with technical rigour, finish control and site coordination.

Aesthetic integration

Designed to feel part of the project, not like an added product.

The sauna can be integrated indoors or outdoors, beside a pool, within a private spa, suite, villa, hotel or wellness space. The key is to resolve it with the same aesthetic and technical standards as the rest of the project.

  • Indoor or outdoor integration with a coherent architectural language
  • Glass, stone, timber and warm lighting resolved as one composition
  • Discreet solutions for services and maintenance
  • Coordination with the site team, trades and technical documentation
  • A finish appropriate to the project's true standard
Project checklist

What we need to assess an integration.

To assess a sauna properly within a professional project, we need to understand the context, current stage and technical constraints before proposing a solution.

Risk control

What we help prevent.

AURUM does not replace the architect's or interior designer's judgement. We support it with specialist knowledge of saunas, fabrication, technical integration and delivery.

A poorly proportioned sauna.

Technical conflicts during construction.

A premium element that feels like a late addition.

Next step

Let us talk before the sauna becomes a construction issue.

If your project is at the design, costing or construction stage, we can review how the sauna fits and define the solution that makes sense.
