# Floating Platform Saunas The Bruksvagen Sauna Blends into the Landscape By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-10-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruksvagen-sauna References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/article/bruksvagen-sauna/) & [smallarchitecture.it](http://www.smallarchitecture.it) The Bruksvagen Sauna has been designed with a distinctly modern aesthetic to make it an exceptional piece of architecture for enabling rest and relaxation. The sauna consists of the main structure that sits on top of a wooden platform that enables it to float on a lake or small body of water. The unit blends into the atmosphere to offer a tranquil sanctuary to unwind and destress. The Bruksvagen Sauna features a traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban finish and features an alder wood interior that is placed in stark contrast to the charred facade. The sauna is finished with a large window that overlooks the water and surrounding forest to help the people using the space to further relax and unwind. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Floating Saunas:** Designing floating saunas that blend into the natural landscape is a disruptive innovation opportunity. - **Modern Architecture:** Exploring distinctly modern aesthetics in sauna design presents a disruptive innovation opportunity. - **Wellness Retreats:** Creating tranquil spaces for rest and relaxation in natural surroundings is a disruptive innovation opportunity. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** The architecture industry can embrace the disruption by designing modern saunas that blend seamlessly into their surroundings. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** The tourism and hospitality industry can incorporate floating saunas as unique attractions in wellness retreats and natural settings. - **Eco-friendly Construction:** The construction industry can leverage the use of sustainable materials and techniques in the design and creation of floating saunas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating Sauna Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watercave.md) - [Reflection-Inducing Floating Saunas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trosten-floating-sauna.md) - [Floating Travelling Saunas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-branzino.md) - [View-Overlooking Portable Wooden Saunas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saunabivak.md) - [Communal Wooden Peninsula Saunas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotspot.md) - [Shipping Container Floating Saunas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fjord-floating-sauna.md) - [Modern Mobile Sauna Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquila-sauna.md) - [Timber Sauna Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jonas-sauna.md) - [Architectural Home Saunas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-luminar.md)
