Sauna as a holiday island in converted chicken coop

After the conversion, nothing reminds of the dilapidated chicken coop, on the contrary: the wellness refuge was designed by the client with great attention to detail in warm blue tones reminiscent of a sea bay (bullfrog furniture by corso). The way there was not easy: the sauna builder was insolvent, the down payment was lost.

Then the builders came across corso and convinced themselves of us during a visit to the site. The sauna in thermowood with a rod look was built exactly as desired, and the inspiration for it was found during a visit to the exhibition. The client says: “The first sauna builder had only planned a glass door, the rest would have been covered with plasterboard cladding. On the other hand, the current sauna has become much more beautiful: straightforward without a disturbing frame, with a large glass front, yet very cozy and with great lighting effects.”

The conversion was not an easy affair due to the dilapidated foundations. “In contrast, the sauna construction went completely smoothly. When we stay in the sauna house now, we are completely disconnected from everyday life and feel like we are on vacation. That was quite simply my goal: to create a holiday island where we can feel like we are in a cozy sea bay. We love our sauna house and are thrilled how beautiful it has become.”

The sauna is also used by the adult children when they visit their parents’ house. Then everyone has their own bathrobe, and the wellness moments in the sauna house are used to relax and “spend time together”.

Especially in the colder months, the builders use the sauna one to three times a week, either as a Finnish sauna or as a milder variant with the evaporator as bio sauna.

Customized Garden sauna

The customized garden sauna looks very spacious and airy thanks to the glass elements. This is a wonderful place to take a sauna: the EOS sauna heater can withstand strong infusions, the sauna benches offer plenty of space to lie down. And right next to the sauna is the rain shower to cool off.

Last but not least, you can relax wonderfully on the cuddly daybed. The integrated drawer is practical, where sauna towels and infusions are stowed within easy reach. To accompany the sauna breaks with relaxing music, a Sonos sound system with an induction charging station at the head of the daybed was planned.

A pleasant temperature, even in the colder season, is ensured by underfloor heating and an infrared heater. With the large daybed and integrated shower, the sauna house can also be used as a guest house if desired.

Sauna by truck-mounted crane

The interior of this customized garden sauna was designed with rustic, weather-beaten old wood: for a cosy atmosphere with “alpine chic”. Rhombus profiled wood was used for the exterior cladding – the bevelled shape makes it easy for rain to drip downwards.

With a customized garden sauna, you can enjoy your garden all year round – and combine it with a healthy sauna . To ensure that the garden sauna does not become a permanent construction site, we manufacture your project completely in our manufactory before the complete, ready-to-use sauna house is then delivered to your garden by truck-mounted crane. It could not be more convenient than that.

Do you have any other extra requests or ideas for your customized garden sauna…? No problem: everything is planned individually for you and tailored to your needs.

We would be happy to plan your garden sauna:

The client is very satisfied with the realisation of his sauna project: “We have fulfilled a long-standing dream with our small wellness oasis. At the centre: the fantastic sauna from Corso – tailor-made and produced to a high standard. You couldn’t have got more (premium) sauna out of the limited space. We are completely happy – from planning to commissioning.”

We were able to realise this project as a custom-made sauna in the Ruhr area. We would also be happy to plan your individual dream sauna:

Hotel outdoor sauna

“In relation to the price per square meter for complete interior conversions, our plug & play wellness area for hotels is comparatively cheap. We adapt the design to the style of the hotel. Of course, several modules can also be combined to create larger wellness areas,” explains Benedictus Lingens, Managing Director of corso sauna manufaktur.

The Outdoor SPA is a perfect compact solution, everything is united under one roof: the sauna, the shower to cool off and the relaxation area to relax. The large sliding hinged door allows the relaxation room to be opened generously. In the colder season, the underfloor heating ensures a pleasant temperature.

Your advantages at corso:

• Complete production in our own manufactory
• Delivery of the sauna house by truck-mounted crane
• On-site connection in just a few hours

Plug & Play Wellness

Seehotel Lichtenberg is located on a wooded peninsula directly above Lake Luzin. The property is crisscrossed by winding paths and ancient oaks: an oasis of peace for nature lovers. Manja Wyk, hotel operator: “Our guests go hiking, cycling or kayaking on the lake. With us you can unwind and relax in the sauna.” However, the old sauna had to be closed – and the hotel lacked the space for an appealing SPA. That’s how the idea of planning an outdoor SPA was born. Ralf Wyk comments: “We already had very specific ideas and everything should be built according to our wishes.” Another aspect was to have as little disruption as possible to the ongoing hotel operations: with a short construction time and little construction noise. The two hoteliers did some research on the internet to look for inspiration for the commercial outdoor sauna. Ralf Wyk: “We really liked corso’s references – and we liked the old wood because it spreads such a rustic, cosy atmosphere. We then arranged a consultation with corso and also visited the manufactory. In conversation with specialist planner Regina Schwab, it quickly became clear that we had found the right partner. On the homepage it says that corso plans “with a great feeling for design” – I can only confirm that.”

It was important to both hotel operators that the outdoor sauna blends in well with the landscape. For this purpose, the slope was partially excavated and the sauna was virtually incorporated into the hill. The integration is rounded off by the green roof and the stone wall. In the exterior design, the materials and colours of the main house were taken up with natural larch and white windows.

Flying sauna house

Manja Wyk: “It was definitely a very exciting moment when the outdoor sauna, which weighed several tons, flew over our entire hotel and then landed on the hill. That took my breath away for a moment. – Now I am glad that we can offer our guests a beautiful retreat to relax. With this wellness area, we will definitely increase our occupancy rate in autumn/winter.” The sauna is controlled via a card slot: guests can book the outdoor sauna and, if desired, reserve it as a private SPA – turning the sauna into a profit center.
