Luxury Basement Sauna with a Spa- Stamford Brook, London
COMPLETE REFURBISHMENT OF BASEMENT IN WEST LONDON
The client bought the property, the generous mansion property with a disused basement that, in its glory days, was a gym and a spa, but had been utilised as storage for a long time. The idea started with just refurbishing the spa that was sitting in the middle of an expansive room bigger that a two bedroom flat, and with input from the client we designed it to incorporate a gym, a play room, a sauna complex with shower / WC and still substantial storage left.
The sauna sits in the middle of the room with the spa in front and the WC / plant room behind. The shower next to the sauna acts a cold shower for use after the sauna and a normal shower for the gym. The installation uses a solid insulated frame, clad internally and externally in high-quality sauna timber, and fitted with floating benches to keep the floor area clear. Two sides of the sauna are all glass to maintain a sense of openness, while concealed LED strip lighting adds warmth and definition to the interior.
MATERIALS
The sauna interior is finished in Thermo Aspen, a premium heat-treated timber selected for its rich golden tone, smooth texture, and exceptional durability. Resistant to warping and wear, Thermo Aspen provides both beauty and longevity, making it ideal for intensive sauna use.
Every surface—including the walls, ceiling, and floating benches—was meticulously clad in horizontal Thermo Aspen, creating a harmonious and cohesive finish.
The linear arrangement adds structure and rhythm, while the natural colour of the timber softens the overall look, giving the interior a warm and inviting character.A full glass front ensures that the sauna feels bright and connected to its surroundings.
FACILITIES
The sauna features a 2+2 bench configuration with two lower and two higher floating benches. The floating design keeps the floor clear, simplifying maintenance while enhancing the visual openness of the space. The bench proportions allow for both reclining and upright seating, offering flexibility and comfort for users.
HEATER
The hybrid design features a HUUM CLIFF 6kW single-phase heater, known for its elegant slimline form and even heat distribution. Control is managed via the HUUM UKU Glass Wi-Fi Touch Pad, enabling convenient operation and pre-heating directly from a smartphone.
