Cadyville Sauna

Cadyville, New York    

 

 

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 has been published in Assemblage 32, Dwell, and Strut Magazine. An article about the sauna is online at http://architettura.supereva.it/artland
