Commissioned by the City of Vantaa, the new smoke saunas and service buildings at the Kuusijärvi recreational area offer visitors a chance to experience the Finnish smoke sauna tradition interpreted through contemporary architecture. Ambitious attention has been given to architectural quality, allowing visitors to enjoy sauna culture in log-built structures set within a beautiful natural environment. The atmosphere of the place is intended to convey peace and presence — something that lingers in memory.
The architecture has been designed by Mer Architects and Talli Architecture and Design Office, together with Loci Landscape Architects responsible for the landscape design.
