About Woodinville Sauna

Woodinville Sauna began with a simple frustration: the saunas available on the market failed to honor the true principles of traditional sauna.

Most were kits — poorly proportioned, built with glued interiors, exposed fasteners, and designs that misunderstood the fundamentals of heat, airflow, and ritual.

So we decided to build our own.

What began as a backyard prototype became a father-and-son pursuit of the real thing: a properly built, wood-fired sauna grounded in traditional Finnish design. The first structure was built behind our home after a trip to the lumber yard and months spent studying the architectural principles that govern authentic sauna performance.

Founded in 2024, Woodinville Sauna remains a small workshop producing a limited number of commissioned structures each year.

Each sauna is designed in collaboration with a Swiss-trained architect with more than 45 years of experience and built by hand using traditional materials and time-tested proportions.

Not as a product.
But as a place.

A return to ancient wisdom.
