Sauna Usinsh III

Mobile sauna built on a shipping container frame with a wood-burning stove. The sauna is for 6 to 8 people and features large windows, an anteroom and a shower.

About the sauna

Initially Usinsh was created as a traditional Latvian wet sauna for rituals that are performed by a sauna master. It’s been made in such a way that it is an ergonomic workspace for the master, all the while the comfort of a typical sauna visitor has been kept in mind. The free-standing lower benches can be either moved under the upper benches or used as a footrest in a seated position.

If Latvian wet sauna traditions are close to your heart, Usinsh is the way to go. We have designed and created the heating room benches in the optimum height and width for working with sauna brooms. An important note for those who like to use sauna brooms and body scrubs in the sauna: the flooring solution is chosen to make the clean-up easy and quick.

6–8 persons at a time can sit comfortably on the sauna benches, or alternatively two persons can comfortably fit on the benches lying down in full length. The anteroom is roomy enough to lounge in between the heating sessions.

Usinsh has a wood-burning stove typical of a Latvian sauna, so firewood is used for heating and electricity only for lighting.

The original doors of the shipping container have been preserved for this project, joined together and covered with decorative wood trim from one side. This functional door panel is useful when you don't want to be visible from the outside at night (through the large window without the door).

The structure of the REBORN sauna is based on a shipping container – so you can be sure that it won’t lose stability or integrity after the journey from the factory to its new home.
