Sauna Floating

A public sauna on the Rødenes lake at Ørje, one piece of a wider effort to bring life to the town’s waterfront alongside a boat café, bathing platforms, pétanque courts and a loop of timber walkways. Its role is seasonal: keeping the lake in use through the months when the water is too cold to swim.

The building starts as a prefabricated sauna unit, re-dressed behind a screen of timber battens. Deep eaves and a gently pitched roof give it a settled form from the shore, and after dark it glows like a lantern on the water: a welcome on arrival, and a small landmark for the municipality.
