From your first idea
to a considered plan.
A beautiful sauna starts with its setting. Think about how you want to spend time there, then bring the view, the rooms and the practical details together.
The project journey
Four considered steps.
Review your site
Bring location, access, services, outlook and permissions into the design brief.
Agree the specification
Confirm the layout, material samples, equipment, responsibilities and complete quotation.
Confirm manufacture and installation
Approve the final documentation and delivery plan before production and site work begin.
The collection is currently a design preview. This is the intended project process once final specifications and commercial terms are ready; orders and deposits open with the first production series. Join the priority list ↗

Start with your setting.
A few details about your site and how you want to use the sauna make the choice of model much clearer. Collect the following in a short brief, with photos and a simple sketch of the site.
Your location
Country and postcode; coastal, exposed or other notable site conditions.
The available space
Approximate plot dimensions and photos or a simple site sketch, including nearby buildings and boundaries.
Your sauna ritual
Typical use, desired seating or reclining, and whether you need changing, shower or lounge space.
The view and privacy
Preferred glazing direction, arrival route and any overlooking you want to manage.
Delivery access
Road approach, gates, tight turns, overhead obstacles and the likely position for lifting equipment.
Utilities
Known electricity provision and, for wet facilities, water and drainage availability.
Your design direction
Preferred models, interior palette, exterior finish and any project-specific requirements.
Budget and timing
An indicative total project budget and preferred installation period, including flexibility.
More than the building.
Every project needs a clear written specification. The room programme and design direction shown here are a starting point; supply, options and site works will be listed separately in your quotation. Prices are not yet published; the full project cost will depend on your chosen specification and destination.
Specify the sauna
- Enclosure, roof and exterior finish
- Sauna wall and ceiling timber, benches and backrests
- Glazing and doors
- Heater, controls, guarding, lighting and ventilation
- Room finishes and joinery shown in your agreed layout
Choose your options
- Interior palette and exterior colour
- Privacy screens or facade details where relevant
- Changing-room or lounge joinery
- Showers and other wet-room fittings where planned
- Terraces, outdoor showers and cold plunges where requested
Define site and delivery work
- Local approvals and site design
- Groundwork, foundations and drainage
- Electrical supply, water and waste connections
- Transport, access assessment, lifting and installation
- Taxes, local charges and any destination-specific work
Images do not define what is included. Furniture, decking, landscaping and external accessories need to be listed expressly if you want them supplied.
Before site work begins
A site that is ready.
Ground & permissions
Check local requirements for the chosen location and design. The foundation must respond to ground conditions and final building loads; a footprint alone does not define the foundation or establish a planning exemption.
Access & installation
Review the approach road, gate widths, turning space, overhead obstacles and lifting position. Final transport sizes, weights and installation responsibilities will be confirmed for the project.
Power & water
Electrical requirements follow the selected heater, controls and completed design. Shower areas also need a coordinated water, drainage and winter-use plan. Resolve cleaning and drainage requirements for the sauna floor.
Living with your sauna
Think beyond installation.
Make cleaning, everyday use and aftercare part of the specification from the beginning.
- Timber and glass. Agree the approved cleaning products, care routine and exterior finish maintenance for the materials you select.
- Drying and ventilation. Request clear instructions for airing, drying and leaving the sauna between sessions.
- Equipment access. Allow for heater, lighting and other components to be inspected and serviced.
- Local support. Confirm warranty terms, spare parts and the service arrangements for your destination before ordering.
Practical answers
Before you decide.
What is known now, and what your final specification needs to settle.
Start with the spaces you want. Panorama 5, Corner 7 and Nordic Frame 9 are sauna-only concepts. Horizon 12 and Atelier 15 add a changing zone; Dune 18 adds a rest and changing space. Lounge 22 and Courtyard 28 add a separate lounge. Retreat 34 and Pavilion 40 also plan for a shower zone. Compare room areas as well as the overall footprint.
A confirmed seating capacity is not yet available. It will be set from the final bench arrangement, access and heater clearances. Tell us how you want to use the sauna and whether you prefer sitting or reclining so the layout can be assessed against that brief.
It is the proposed external footprint of enclosed rooms, including walls. It is not the size of the sauna room or the usable internal floor area. Terraces and open courtyards are additional. Each model page separates the proposed building footprint from room areas.
Glazing orientation, entrance position and mirrored layouts can be explored during specification. They remain subject to the structure, heater layout, site conditions and manufacturing review. The concept images show one possible arrangement.
Three interior directions are proposed: Light Nordic, Warm Natural and Dark Contrast. Final species, profiles, finishes and availability will be confirmed with physical samples and the agreed specification. Exterior colour and cladding details can be reviewed at the same stage.
Yes. Every AUREFJORD sauna is quoted with an electric heater and control package with app / Wi-Fi remote start. The heater model, output and electrical supply are matched to the final sauna room and glazing and listed explicitly in the quotation.
We will provide these details once the heater, glazing, insulation and ventilation are specified and performance is validated. Conditions such as outdoor temperature and how the sauna is used also affect heat-up and energy use, so we do not publish an estimate from floor area alone.
The current sauna-only and changing-room concepts do not include a shower. Retreat 34 and Pavilion 40 plan for shower zones; a shower can also be explored as a revision to Lounge 22. Any wet facilities require a coordinated water, drainage and winter-use plan. Floor cleaning and drainage requirements must also be resolved for the final sauna design.
The foundation must be designed for your ground conditions, the final building loads and the local requirements. The current concept drawings do not specify a foundation. Allow for a site assessment before committing to groundwork.
This depends on the location, site and final design. Ask the relevant local authority or a qualified local adviser before placing an order. The model footprint alone does not establish an exemption.
The collection is being developed around factory-made modules. The final module sizes, weights, delivery method and installation responsibilities will be confirmed for each project. A site review should cover the route, turning space, access restrictions and any lifting requirements.
The intended climate and seasonal use form part of the project brief. Structure, glazing, insulation, ventilation, weather protection and any water systems must be specified for those conditions. No universal climate rating has yet been confirmed.
Destination coverage is being developed. Your country and postcode are needed to confirm delivery, installation, local requirements and aftercare before an order can be accepted.
Prices are not yet published. Your quotation should list the building and sauna specification, chosen options, transport, lifting and installation, taxes, site works and utility connections separately. Illustrated furniture, landscaping, terraces and outdoor accessories are not a confirmed supply scope.
These will be provided for the final product and destination before an order is accepted. There is currently no confirmed delivery lead time or published warranty for this concept collection.
Not yet. The first production series is being prepared, and you can join the priority list for a build slot now, free and without commitment. Priority customers receive drawings, a specification and a written quotation first; a deposit is only due when you accept that quotation.
