RELAX TO THE MAX

Architectural practice Partisans has created a sculptural sauna along Lake Huron in Ontario, inspired by the undulating shoreline and using reclaimed materials

- VARUNI MOHAN

Taking cues from an Italian grotto, this private sauna in Canada is lined with curvilinear cedar paneling that creates an undulating interior terrain. Elliptical windows serve as a conjunction between the warmth inside and natural beauty outside

It is perched on a cascading granite cliff such that it doesn’t disrupt its surroundings
