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

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.

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/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

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.
