The Kaluga Sauna is an unusually awesome combination of two traditionally seperate ideas: saunas and major waterways.
Designed and built by Rintala Eggertsson Architects, the Kaluga Sauna is one of several buildings sent floating down the Urga River as a part of the Festival of Landscape Objects. The Kaluga Sauna even features a living tree on its roof and is now located in the village of Nikola-Lenivets as an architectural exhibit for locals to enjoy.
