Lately, it seems like there has been a trend towards saunas with the largest windows possible. However, if you’re looking to create an environment free of distractions, a simple porthole window lets in just enough light for contemplation and allows for additional fresh air. It creates a serene environment without distractions… it’s incredibly calming and soothing. Sometimes less is more.

This Nükk PNW Classic was handcrafted to Trumpkin specs. It has an 8’x8’x8’ hot room with mechanical ventilation, two levels of L-benches, double wall insulation, a Starlight package, and a Yakisugi finish. Unlike typical kit or barrel saunas, this is stick framed, built like a tank, and will last for generations.

This extra tall Nükk Cascade was delivered to Anna and Derek last week. The Cascade model is unique, because when it rains, you have a waterfall in front of the picture window!

The Nükk Revolution

The Revolution is an engineering wonder inspired by design principles used at McMurdo Station in Antarctica. It’s a proprietary modular sauna that 2-3 handyfolks can assemble in a day. It packs flat, and all the pieces can be carried by two people, so you can put it just about anywhere!

It comfortably seats 4 to 5 people, and the exterior can be finished to match your home.

Exterior dimensions: 8’ (W)x7’(D)x 9’(H).
Interior dimensions: 6’8” (W)x 5’9” (D)x 7’6”(H). Weight: 3000 Ibs.

Corners are often the hardest place to put a sauna. That’s exactly what the Nükk Wedge was designed for.

Built to fit cleanly into a right-angle footprint, the Wedge comes in 7’ x 7’ and 8’ x 8’ layouts, with an angled corner and a large viewing window that opens up the space.

Like all Nükk saunas, it’s handbuilt and fully customizable—finished in the color and tile that suit your home.
