Project Highlight: Double Cube Contrast Setup & Thermowood Deck
Integrated Vision
Our client contacted us to construct this premium two room sauna kit and complement it with a matching cold plunge setup and deck. We customized the kit to upgrade the quality on some key components, and executed a sleek, matching deck built out of thermally modified wood, an eco-friendly alternative to ironwoods like Ipe which maintains durability and 50+ year lifespans.
Beefy Foundation
The combined weight of the large cold plunge, the massive stone filled sauna heater, and the weight of the sauna kit called for a beefy structure on the deck itself. This had to be balanced with a sleek presentation that blended into the hillside.
In Depth Design Support
In order to position and visualize the final product, we provided extensive design support that tested different orientations and layouts of the elements, before construction began. This saved time, created a predictable budget, and beautiful end result.
Investment
A sauna project like the one depicted above will usually land between $60,000-$90,000 depending on features and site conditions. In this case, the client chose to go with a premium deck package that heavily drove the final cost. Here’s a rough breakdown of the costs for this build:
Sauna Kit with Heater and Install: $35,000
Thermowood Deck and Foundation Work: $19,500
High Performance Cold Plunge Tub, Chiller, and Install with Enclosure: $8,500
Electrical Service Updates: $3500
Upgrades (Deck Lighting, Interior Lighting, Sealing, Waxing): $2500
