the project provides users with a panoramic view thanks to its curved glass, in an attempt to connect them with nature while enjoying the benefits of saunas. every detail has been chosen to reflect the minimalism of ‘LUMIPOD‘ designs and blend naturally into the surroundings. the curved exterior wall takes form as a wooden frame, incorporating 10cm of rockwool. furthermore, the sauna is available in two versions, with or without a terrace: when it is equipped with a terrace, it is accessible via a ladder fixed to the cladding, and the total height spans 3,5m. by default, the exterior is clad in thermo brushed pine, but other options are available. curved prefabricated LUMIPOD sauna combines well-being and reconnection with nature
