Today Architectural Digest brings you to Finland’s capital Helsinki to tour Löyly, a remarkable public sauna designed to blend in with nature. Perched on the city’s rugged coastline, architects Anu Puustinen and Ville Hara designed Löyly to resemble a rock formation on the shore. Sustainability and community are at the heart of this unique space - using only FSC-certified materials to create a unifying holistic environment for current and future generations.

For anyone wondering about the empty area behind Löyly, it used to be an industrial area and is now waiting for development. Löyly will be part of a new sea shore park and residental area of Hernesaari.

This video is so interesting. Not only are we learning about architecture, but Finnish sauna culture, Finnish society, and Finnish personalities. For those of us who have never been to Finland, it is a lesson in geography, lifestyle, and history, as well.

@TheDefaultgameer Год назад

What is interesting, is we kinda saw Finns, learn a bit more about Finnish culture as well. Maybe more accurately, they are re learning about is, with opening up of a public sauna. A usually closed off, stand offish Finnish persona opens up.

As a finn I still find it funny that it's just a matter of time that a smoke sauna burns. Not if but when... Explaining that to people is interesting to say the least!

@fakiiri2645 Год назад

I sometimes tell people that one of the criteria for really being Finnish is to have burnt a smoke sauna. Yes, I'm in the club.

@B1gLupu Год назад

It's probably because of the long heating time and because soot does have a flashpoint. For anyone foreigners afraid about being trapped, smoke sauna isn't lit while used, so if it were to burn, it would be during heating.

@CorporalCookie 7 месяцев назад

The smoke sauna is preheated. Prior to anyone going in, the door is opened and the smoke is allowed to exit (at this point, nothing is burning anymore). After that the sauna relies on the stored up heat which can last for quite a long time.

Blend in with nature? Löyly is the most well-known URBAN sauna in Finland. In the middle of the BIGGEST city in Finland! There are probably hundreds of urban, public saunas in Finland. That is probably one of the biggest ones. Usually there are multiple smaller ones in a city, in stead of one big one. The countryside / "the nature" has even more saunas, but they are usually private. Or maybe "hiking saunas" in some government nature reserves.

@Lilzvx 10 месяцев назад

The building is amazing.. the design is... But the smoke sauna sounds like really bad idea for people's health..

@HannuPulkkinen49 8 месяцев назад

Maybe you don't know what a smoke sauna means. There is no smoke there. Although the stove does not have a chimney, the smoke is vented before bathing. On the contrary, a smoke sauna is a great experience. The heat is soft and caressing.

@blayasblay3941 Год назад

Not able to finish this video, but they build this 2016, there has been a public FREE sauna in sompasaari (sompa island) since 2011.
