Sauna workshop · Chiemgau & Munich
Private saunas, built for exactly one place and exactly one person.
Bespoke saunas
since 2009
40 °C · Stance
We don't build off-the-shelf saunas. We build places where time stands still for ninety degrees, each one made to measure and crafted by hand, for exactly one person: you.
60 °C · Material
We only work with wood whose origin we know, often down to the individual trunk. Each wood smells different, holds heat differently and ages differently.
Pinus sylvestris, dried while standing
Pines that dried upright for decades until their wood turned silver and hard. Every trunk is recovered by hand. There is no rarer sauna wood.
Populus tremula, heat-treated
Refined at 212 °C, resin-free and pleasantly cool to the touch. A calm, honey-coloured wood for saunas that are meant to be, above all, light.
Tsuga heterophylla
Knot-free, with a fine, straight grain. Hemlock absorbs heat slowly and releases it just as slowly. The wood for long, gentle sessions.
Quercus robur, fumed
Solid oak, fumed for weeks until it turns deep and dark. For interiors with presence, paired with aspen for benches and backrests.
80 °C · Collection
Refugium, Atelier and Solitär are starting points, not products. Nothing is built until we know your place.
Outdoor sauna · Cube
A cube for the garden. A window for the sky.
Indoor sauna · Niche
Set into your home like a piece of master-made furniture.
Pavilion · Sauna & lounge
A house of its own for the ritual. With water, fire and silence.
90 °C · Workshop

64 pages on wood, heat and planning. With floor plans of all three lines, real price examples and the checklist we go through with our clients before every project.
Atelier indoor saunas start at €42,000, freestanding Refugium outdoor saunas at €68,000 and Solitär sauna pavilions at €124,000. Planning, manufacture, delivery and installation are included. You can see your personal price range directly in the configurator.
Depending on the model, 12 to 36 weeks. An Atelier indoor sauna is usually ready after 12 to 16 weeks, a Solitär pavilion including permits after 24 to 36 weeks.
Kelo is the rarest and most durable sauna wood: Lapland pine dried while standing, with a silver patina. Thermo aspen is resin-free and light, hemlock knot-free and heat-retaining, smoked oak dark and stately. We advise you with original samples.
That depends on the region, the size and the type of stove. Smaller outdoor saunas are often exempt from permits; wood-fired stoves require approval by a chimney sweep. For Refugium and Solitär we clarify this for you and prepare the planning application where needed.
Yes. We plan, build and install throughout the German-speaking Alpine region. Installation teams travel from our workshop in the Chiemgau.
Yes, that is what the Atelier line was developed for. We survey your bathroom to the millimetre, coordinate with your architect or developer and integrate ventilation, electrics and glass front flush with the existing architecture.
