No. 36 Outdoor Showers & Saunas · Colonial
Wood-Burning Sauna Beside Galvanized Cold Plunge
Surrounded by snow in a backyard with a brick colonial house, a timber wood-burning sauna with a smoking chimney stands beside a galvanized steel stock tank cold plunge on stone paving.
Design notes
Colonial design is symmetry and restraint. Look for a central axis from the back door, matched beds and hedges either side, bluestone or brick terraces with tight joints, and white or black picket and post-and-rail fences. Planting is disciplined — boxwood, hydrangea, holly, dogwood and shade trees — and furniture is classic: teak benches, Windsor chairs, a market umbrella. Georgian brick, clapboard and shingle houses all suit it.
What to look for
- Where the water goes — drain, soakaway or the pool deck
- Privacy height and sightlines from next door's windows
- How many barefoot steps from the pool or the back door
