stockholm-based company add a room in collaboration with danish architect lars frank nielsen have designed the ‘one+ sauna house’, a modular single room structure which may be added to an existing home. the 3 meter by 2.4 meter volume is flanked with a pergola and deck. one patio may be used as a lounge area, with an extended overhead framework in place to suspend a swing or planters. the interior of this unit, functioning as a sauna, is accessed through a discreet door, revealing the tiered wooden seating formed with aspen panels.

an opposing door leads to an outdoor shower with convenient hooks and storage shelves integrated into the horizontal cladding. the exterior material is a unique superwood, a hybrid swedish wood which requires minimal maintenance. constructed by a team of scandinavian carpenters, the small building is sustainably built off-site and is then delivered in an assembled state.
