,
Property Type: Saunas/Decks
For this Highland Park residence, Ciancio Engineering designed and built a custom outdoor sauna retreat conceived as a true extension of the home and landscape. The structure includes separate changing and sauna rooms, a traditional wood-fired stove, and elegant heat-reflecting tile surfaces—combining authentic performance with elevated design.

Great care was taken to ensure the sauna complemented the home’s Tudor-style architecture, resulting in a cohesive structure that feels both intentional and timeless. Nestled within the backyard, the finished retreat delivers a private, spa-like experience while blending seamlessly into its surroundings.

Scope of Work:
  • Custom-designed outdoor sauna accommodating 4–6 adults comfortably
  • Fully insulated, cedar-clad interior for optimal heat retention and longevity
  • Architecturally appropriate exterior finishes designed to complement the home
  • Premium wood-fired sauna stove and rock cage for authentic heat and balanced humidity
