Early sketches, a lot of brews, and too many versions of the roof. This is where the sauna starts; on paper, out on walks, in the rain, and in all the places we want it to belong.

Timber and sawdust everywhere. Joinery, insulation, stove benches, arguments with screws, and a surprising amount of problem-solving. This is messy, but where it comes to life.

The stove warms, the stones crack, and suddenly it feels like a sauna. We tune the heat, test everything, tweak a few things, and make sure it feels exactly how a Highland sauna should.
