The Sauna By The Sea

The students from The Scarcity and Creativity Studio at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design created a seaside sauna that stretches over the cliffs into the North Sea. ‘The Bands’ is situated in Kleivan, Norway, an abandoned fishing village north of the Polar Circle. The design and building process of the sauna is part of a conversion plan of the quay and a renovation of its existing buildings from the early 1900s: a fisherman’s cottage, a cod liver oil production building and a cod salting building. The sauna itself is constructed of wooden bands and includes a wood-burning stove, a sunken hot tub and a terrace offering stunning views over the Norwegian landscape.
