Our Sauna

The New 612
   SAUNA

Last winter the 612 Sauna Society gave a hot bench seat to over two thousand participants. This winter, taking sauna society to the next level. We’re raising funds to build a new community-owned and operated mobile sauna. 

We’re using everything we’ve learned at hundreds of gatherings at The Firehouse Sauna and Little Box Sauna to build our next and best mobile hot spot. The build campaign will be lead by arguably the most experienced and knowledgible sauna builder in the country, Glenn Auerbach, founder of Sauna Times and proud creator of dozens of the finest saunas in the country. He will be supported by project manager, mobile sauna builder and 612 Sauna Society founder, John Pederson—and a team of 40 volunteers. Supervising this cadre of sauna steam on the design front will be Michael Gordon (Lazor Office Architects) and Max Musicant (The Musicant Group). 

The design of the new sauna centers around the elemental aspects of a superb sauna experience. Our design highlights the features that seperate the sauna sancturaries of the world from the locker room toaster ovens…

Flame Heat

Flame-heated saunas feel better because the flame creates natural circulation of air in the hot room. The quality of heat from flame-heated saunas is superior because…

Optimized for full health benefit of sauna

The cool-down is the most under-rated and critical aspect of the sauna experience. The cool-down is what makes the heat feel good—it’s also what/where you get the full health benefit of sauna. Cooling down your core—not just your skin—between sauna rounds triggers your thermoregulatory system into to bring your body into equilibrium by circulating blood flow to heat and cool your core temperature. Our design will encourage and support full cool-down rounds with multiple cool-down zone (ranging from a bonfire deck, to a room temp tent, to a cold water plunge option).

Flow for Sauna Rounds

We’re building this unit on a trailer that lowers to the ground to eliminate the need for stairs and maximize the flow between transition zones.

Connection to the elements

One of the the most enjoyable aspects of a good sauna is re-experiencing an your environment. There’s nothing quite like seeing your own backyard for the first time through the glow of a sauna round. By building the new sauna on an adjustable trailer, the city is our backyard. We’ll re-introduce its citizens to the magic of winter—one sauna round at a time!
