A sauna embedded in nature

cadyville sauna

The Cadyville Sauna was designed and constructed along the Saranac River in upstate New York. It is a compact structure, covered with mirrors. It is built up against a cliff, and the wall of rock forms one interior wall of the sauna. Twenty feet below the sauna the river coils into a deep and powerful whirlpool, spinning reflections of sunlight back up on the rocks around it and the Sauna above it. The Cadyville Sauna was the primary source of inspiration for our research into the history and theory of architecture and camouflage.
