Bringing Nordic Sauna Culture To Your Backyard With Tyto

ByMyProperty Life

Luxury saunas are no longer reserved for five-star hotels – you can now enjoy the experience right in your own backyard. Out of the Valley’s new Tyto sauna brings home the restorative magic of Nordic sauna culture, offering immediate access to relaxation and wellness. Measuring just 2.5 feet by 8.5 feet, this compact, beautifully crafted retreat fits effortlessly into smaller outdoor spaces, delivering big on design, comfort, and therapeutic benefits. With Tyto, escaping the demands of daily life has never been easier – or closer.

While saunas are deeply rooted in Nordic culture, serving as spaces for both relaxation and social connection, their popularity has transcended borders. In the United Kingdom where Out of the Valley is based, the allure of sauna living has grown rapidly. “It is now rapidly becoming a normal part of our everyday wellness routine,” shares Chris Selman, co-founder of Out of the Valley. The brand’s bespoke saunas seamlessly complement a variety of landscapes, from charming gardens in Notting Hill to the shores of a remote Scottish loch. With Tyto, Out of the Valley is making this timeless tradition even more accessible for those limited on backyard space. “We have created a sauna small enough to be tucked into the corner of any urban garden, so fans of heat therapy can be just steps away from this immersive and therapeutic healing experience,” Selman explains.

Each Tyto is made to order and handcrafted in the brand’s Devon workshop, ensuring the highest level craftsmanship. The sauna boasts a brushed and oiled black larch exterior, reminiscent of alpine cabins, and an interior of smooth aspen wood for a calming atmosphere. A striking edge-to-edge panoramic window offers expansive views while maintaining a sense of connection to the outdoors, with optional privacy glass available for added seclusion. The sauna houses a floor-mounted heater – available in wood-burning or electric options – surrounded by rocks for practicing löyly, the Finnish tradition of pouring water onto the hot rocks to create steam and increase humidity. Thoughtful features like adjustable LED lighting, an outdoor deck, and hooks for robes and towels add convenience and comfort. Optional add-ons, such as an outdoor shower, plunge pool, bench seating, extended deck, sauna heater Wi-Fi, and log storage, allow users to tailor their Tyto to their personal wellness needs.

With the Tyto’s harmonious blend of contemporary design, traditional craftsmanship, and thoughtful details, it’s the perfect elegant addition to any backyard oasis.

  • The Fieldhouse

    Built for family and friends as a space for sport and gathering, the Fieldhouse is a simple, functional structure. Like the immersion of nature and recreation in the development of state and national parks of the early 20th century, this family wanted a structure where friends, family, and neighbors could gather, play sport, celebrate and relax in the country. The Fieldhouse feels distant and secluded, located on a mostly undeveloped seven-acre site, surrounded by a meadow of natural grasses, a fruit orchard, wetland ponds and a maintained field for sporting. As long time natives of the Pacific Northwest, the family was keen to convey a specific sense of place and longevity. The architecture responds to those ideas in its simplicity and versatility, and in its construction from durable, local materials. Inspiration was taken from vernacular stone and timber structures built across the country in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The architects and clients channeled their own recollections of summers spent in Seattle’s waterfront parks and their simple elegant structures, often by early 20th century Seattle architect Ellsworth Storey. The 1,664-square-foot structure consists of a covered outdoor patio flanked by two, offset and enclosed spaces housing a sun room and inglenook to the west, and a kitchen, grill and two bathrooms to the east. Designed to accommodate almost any situation, the Fieldhouse can shelter four as comfortably as it can 60, hosting sleepovers, family sports tournaments, reunions and outdoor dining with ease. The structure employs a gradient of enclosure and structural qualities from the immersive intimate inglenook to the ever thinning shed roof structure, gently lifting off above the central patio. The building can be shutdown to weather storms, or opened wide to allow light, air and activity to pass through freely. The structure provides a straight-forward and visibly-constructed language of materials. It progressively lightens from a solid stone base, to thick timber columns, to pairs of rafters and thinner yet pairs of purlins, supporting the single-plane shed roof. The timber is all Douglas fir and cedar harvested and salvaged from the Pacific Northwest. The stone is taken from a quarry on nearby Vancouver Island and the early, factory-style steel casement doors and windows are West Coast built. This timeless assembly of materials and method of construction suggest that this is a building about its surroundings and a stalwart of the region it resides in, functioning as well today as it will in 100 years.
