The Long Sauna in Sullivan County, NY, is a serene communal hub nestled in an active agricultural landscape. Seamlessly integrating a rough-hewn hemlock fence with smooth cedar walls, it offers shaded decks and rock gardens while framing tranquil views of the meadow and pond. The softly curved interior centers around a wood heater, fostering a cozy retreat amidst nature.

Set between a pasture and a man-made pond this small sauna emerges as the extension of a long fence with cows on one side and recreation on the other. The fence’s rough unplaned hemlock boards meet the smooth cedar sauna walls forming spaces for a shaded deck and rock garden.
