[Case Study] Authentic Outdoor Sauna in Your Garden: Private Outdoor Saunas by idetox

idetox ~Living with Sauna~ recently designed and installed an authentic Finnish-style sauna for a newly built home. This installation provides a private sauna space that allows residents to enjoy authentic self-löyly and 'totonoi' (relaxation) experiences from the comfort of their home.

■ The Choice of Outdoor Installation
Finished in grey to match the home's exterior, this outdoor sauna features a chimney reaching into the sky, creating a strong presence.
idetox's outdoor saunas meet the needs of those who find it difficult to secure indoor space or who wish to enjoy saunas and outdoor air bathing seamlessly.
Installation is possible anywhere within the residential property, such as in gardens, on terraces, or in corners of parking spaces. In many cases, it can be introduced with only foundation, electrical, and chimney work, eliminating the need for large-scale renovations.
Furthermore, the ability to complete the 'sauna -> outdoor air bath' cycle entirely outdoors is a unique appeal of the outdoor sauna. Spending time feeling nature provides both a sense of openness and an authentic sauna experience.

■ Sauna Specifications
The sauna installed in this case is a custom version based on the idetox outdoor sauna model.
Sauna Model: J-WSD-2020LT
Dimensions: W2000 D2000 H2200mm
Wood: Red Cedar
Stove: Harvia Legend 150
Exterior: Aluminum Composite Panel (Grey)
Configuration: 2-tier bench, 7-color LED (remote control), self-löyly support

■ Custom Colors to Match Residential Exterior
In this case, the sauna exterior was finished in grey to maintain uniformity with the home's exterior walls and fences. At idetox, it is possible to flexibly customize exterior colors and specifications to match residential design and landscape. We value designs that 'blend naturally even when placed outdoors' and design with an awareness of harmony with the entire home.

■ Authentic Sauna Experience with Wood-Burning Stove with Chimney
The 'HARVIA Legend 150' adopted for this project is a wood-burning stove that allows you to enjoy the soft heat and steam sensation of a Finnish sauna. Saunas enjoyed while feeling the sound of burning wood and the flicker of flames have a charm different from electric stoves. It also supports self-löyly, allowing you to enjoy an authentic sauna experience while adjusting humidity and perceived temperature to your preference.

■ For Those Considering Home Sauna Installation
In recent years, with the growing trend of emphasizing health consciousness and quality of life, the number of saunas being installed in private residences is increasing. As a new lifestyle of 'totonoi at home whenever you like,' home saunas are attracting attention, especially in new homes and vacation homes. They are chosen not only as relaxation spaces but also to enhance the value of the home and enrich family time. idetox handles everything from design, production, and construction to maintenance, proposing sauna spaces tailored to your living environment and requests.
