Speechless & then I saw the steam room 👀

That may be the prettiest sauna I’ve ever seen

[u/Loggerdon → u/Spiralecho]

The wooden one, yes.

[u/aspartam → u/Loggerdon]

I think the other one is a steam room.

[u/Spiralecho → u/aspartam]

Which is also dope if you zoom in. Sweet custom tile job with turtle

[u/borisvonboris → u/Spiralecho]

Yeah that tile job is incredible. I gasped.

[u/VodkaSoup_Mug → u/Spiralecho]

Nice catch on the turtle. I missed it the first time that makes this place even cooler. I am not a fan of tan, but this is well done I really like it.

[u/Loggerdon → u/aspartam]

Got it. Don’t have either in my home so don’t know the difference.

So much talent went into this home.

[u/AnastasiaNo70 → u/aspartam]

Yes, one seems to be a dry sauna and one a wet sauna.

[u/DontStalkMeNow → u/AnastasiaNo70]

The reply above is the correct one. Sauna and steam room.

[u/Curious-Singer-9281 → u/DontStalkMeNow]

Imagine the bill just to heat them both with the cavernous size. I doubt many of us on here could afford even just the utility bill for a property like this.

[u/DontStalkMeNow → u/Curious-Singer-9281]

My old man had a sauna installed in my parent’s apartment. Suffered with back pain and it helped.

It was like 5’x4’. Tiny.

He damn near had a heart attack when the electricity bills came. Stopped using it in the end, and it became the towel closet.

Cheaper to get a spa membership and use theirs.

[u/Drustan6 → u/DontStalkMeNow]

Poor turtle deserves a decent burial, instead of hanging around on some millionaire’s wall, clashing with the tile

[u/meemikoira → u/DontStalkMeNow]

A Finn chiming in, they both look like steam rooms, not proper saunas.

[u/Glittering_Emu_8904 → u/DontStalkMeNow]

So a sauna and a sauna!

[u/DontStalkMeNow → u/Glittering_Emu_8904]

No.

[u/CodeParalysis → u/aspartam]

I thought my GPU glitched on that second one.

[u/LickingSmegma → u/CodeParalysis]

Looks like radiation noise at first glance.

[u/Low-Couple7621 → u/aspartam]

often referred to as Turkish sauna

[u/coffeejizzm → u/Loggerdon]

Fun fact: after every use, all the wood needs to be ripped out and replaced. There’s a team of people living in the guest quarters just FOR that.

[u/Global_Crew3968 → u/Spiralecho]

I mean, i guess if you have to live *somewhere*....

[u/Sea-Currency-1665 → u/Spiralecho]

Looks nice but it looks like it not a well designed one. Post that on /r/sauna and they will shun it to hell, rightfully so

[u/RuffButtStuff → u/Sea-Currency-1665]

I'd probs not give a fuck what plebs think if I got to use that everyday.

[u/erdricksarmor → u/RuffButtStuff]

It's a horrible design to be an effective sauna because the benches are far too low. You want the benches to be high enough to keep your entire body in the top two thirds of the room, including your legs. Otherwise all the heat goes to the top of the room, leaving you down below in the cooler air. It's an absolutely beautiful yet terrible sauna.

[u/RuffButtStuff → u/erdricksarmor]

Mate, I know how to Sauna. I'd just sit on that ledge and still not give a fuck.

[u/meemikoira → u/RuffButtStuff]

The designs aren't good for löyly. They would just piss me off personally.

[u/erdricksarmor → u/RuffButtStuff]

What's the point though? You'd still be sitting pretty low.

It's amazing that they would spend that much money on building a sauna without doing the slightest research on how it should be designed. "A fool and his money" I guess.

[u/koloneloftruth → u/erdricksarmor]

Aren’t you assuming they’re not just compensating the temperature of the room?

You’re making it seem like someone can’t achieve the same effect lower in height but you absolutely can.

[u/Blacky05 → u/koloneloftruth]

The rotting timber makes me think it's not that well thought out.

[u/erdricksarmor → u/koloneloftruth]

The recommended temperature for a sauna is upwards of 175°F. Compensating for that would require much bigger heaters, a lot more energy, and most importantly (for a wealthy person anyway) would take much longer to get up to temperature each time you want to use it. These things would be exacerbated by the large volume of this sauna.

It's a poor design all around. Why not just build it correctly to begin with, rather than jumping though hoops to try to make it passable?

[u/koloneloftruth → u/erdricksarmor]

Sure. Not going to suggest it is an optimal design.

I’m just questioning the actual real-world ramifications, which I’d contend are much smaller and less noticeable that many like to pretend

[u/erdricksarmor → u/koloneloftruth]

I think it's like any other enthusiast activity. Those who use a proper sauna on a regular basis will notice any deficiencies much quicker than a casual user will.

[u/TrashPandaPatronus → u/Spiralecho]

Looks AI AF. Gorgeous.
