Sauna M | Matteo Foresti

Nestled on an island in the Stockholm Archipelago, this sauna is the latest addition to a carefully curated complex that includes a villa, technical buildings, and a guest house with a gym.

Positioned between two hills and just a few meters from the water’s edge, the sauna sits on a small, flat area covered with soil and low-lying vegetation. The design prioritizes the preservation of the pristine natural surroundings, with the location chosen to minimize any disruption to the landscape.

The sauna’s light timber construction, featuring black heat-treated pine panels and aspen wood ribs for the interior, complements the raw beauty of the environment. The building is delicately placed on the ground, with minimal impact on the landscape.

The interiors are minimalist, simple and calm, with a large glazed facade offering unobstructed
views of the surrounding water. This connection to the natural context enhances the sauna experience, allowing the user to feel fully immersed in the serene beauty of the archipelago
