Wood-Burning Sauna Beside Wooden Cold Plunge
In a backyard blanketed in white snow, a rustic timber wood-burning sauna with a smoking metal chimney sits beside a round cedar cold plunge near a shingled house.
Design notes
Classic design favours balance and proportion. Look for symmetry from the back door, traditional materials — stone, brick, terracotta, painted timber — furnishings that belong to the house rather than the season, and planting with structure: hedges, borders and trees placed to frame the view.
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
