The Sauna is a small oasis located in upstate New York. Partially embedded within a hillside along the western edge of Cayuga Lake, the project embraces its context while attempting to blur the boundaries between natural and artificial landscapes. Situated in a region known for its sedimentary rock formations, the majority of the project’s exterior is composed of horizontal board-formed concrete striations to reflect local geological shale outcroppings found throughout the site. A single large glass surface contrasts the concrete shell while simultaneously offering reflections of the surrounding landscape when viewed from the exterior.
