“Design a multi-level sauna inspired by timeless Scandinavian wooden architecture, emphasizing understated, effortless sophistication. The structure should feature traditional natural wood tones (like cedar, spruce, or birch) with exquisite craftsmanship — subtle joinery, soft edges, and beautifully aged textures. Incorporate different elevation levels to create natural temperature gradients, with thoughtful placement of benches and platforms. Include passthroughs to the different elevations to ensure complete visual segregation of the different elevations. Create a cozy, intimate atmosphere with a balance of small nooks and tucked-away corners for quiet solitude alongside inviting, warm communal spaces. Avoid anything overly showy, modern, or ‘luxury for luxury’s sake’; focus instead on authenticity, warmth, and the quiet confidence of enduring design that whispers quality rather than shouts it. Lighting should be soft, moody, and atmospheric, enhancing the organic feel without relying on gimmicks or excess.” See more
