Our Swedish summerhouse has been in the family for over 100 years, the wood-fired sauna was a recent addition based on original drawings of a bath house that used to be located in the exact same spot until it blew away in a storm in the 60’s. More photos by Mikaela Rudhner.
Sauna on the Åland Islands by Denizen Works.
Built from local materials and designed with sleigh runners, the sauna can be towed out onto the ice in winter to provide immediate access to a frigid plunge.
David Cartier’s homestead in the Yukon Territory, Canada:
One beautiful clear night last week, at our new place near the Yukon River about 30 km. east of Whitehorse. The great thing about having my job evaporate into thin air was that we were able to move out of town to this nice, quiet place where the only traffic we ever see is the occasional passing of a neighbor’s dog team. In the foreground at left is the wood fired sauna/bath house I just finished building, an absolute high priority essential for living in a place without running water.
