Architectural Ceiling
The sloped ceiling remains part of the room’s character, with wood paneling following its original geometry.
Indoor Sauna
Amber Ridge
Saint Petersburg, RussiaCompleted by our team.
A warm, architectural sauna conversion shaped around a sloped ceiling, layered benching, existing windows, and concealed ambient lighting.

Dimensions and capacity are approximate; seating capacity varies with the bench arrangement.
Amber Ridge transforms an unfinished masonry room into a fully integrated custom sauna.
The design works with the existing sloped ceiling and window openings rather than hiding them, creating a distinctive architectural interior.
Vertical wood paneling, multi-level custom benches and continuous concealed lighting create a warm, calm atmosphere throughout the room.
A dark electric stone heater provides a visual contrast to the lighter wood interior, while layered lighting beneath the backrests and benches gives the finished sauna depth without relying on harsh overhead light.
