Sauna design workshop: Fresh encounters with authentic Finnish Sauna - Discover the Authentic Finnish Sauna Experience at this Exclusive Event by FAHA on June 15, 2024
We will explore in detail a case study of an integrated sauna design and construction. This case illustrates all critical phases of indoor sauna creation with many take aways applicable to other types of saunas too.
What you will experience
Discover Authenticity: Understand the unique characteristics of a traditional Finnish sauna and how its design and function set it apart from other heat therapies.

Design Inspiration: Get inspired by a variety of example sauna designs tailored to fit every lifestyle and preference. Find the perfect sauna that resonates with your personal sanctuary needs.
Experience Löyly: Participate in a safe, guided sauna session led by a sauna-native Finn, who will introduce you to the traditional practice of löyly – the gentle steam that envelops the bather.
Q & A: Direct answers to your sauna hot topics!
Whether you're a seasoned sauna enthusiast or new to the experience, this event promises to enrich your knowledge and appreciation for this time-honored Finnish building tradition.
