The spa features a cluster of Corten steel and glass cabins on a sloping site that overlooks a peaceful pond. The spa incorporates local sauna culture, boasting a contemporary design. The resort features two independent steam rooms and three cabins, which guests can use for overnight stays. Open AD designed the cabin with corten-steel and glass to create a sense of balance between modern styles and traditional cozy cabins. The resort offers guests a subterranean Glass Sauna, dug into the hill, and the [Smoke Room sauna](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-sauna) that sits nearby a wooded area constructed from charred logs and a steel roof.
