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.

  • Elephant’s Hill House

    The privileged view of nature was the core starting point for this project on the mountainous region of Nova Lima, State of Minas Gerais/Brazil. An adventurer couple chose us to create this special project in such an exclusive area. At first, the site’s high declivity seemed to be a big challenge, but it was also what inspired us to come up with the implantation’s solution. Exploring its natural landscape and the Elephant’s Hill view, it was possible to set the social floor at the height limit, above the trees. The street facade turned out to be the side elevation and the main facade now faces towards the side boundary. Due to the high declivity of the area, we were able to create a 3 level house. On the ground floor: garage, laundry, and storage. On the first floor, the office was fully integrated with the living room and a guests’ ensuite. Finally, on the second floor, there’s the hosts’ ensuite, with the most privileged view of the landscape. A slight angulation to the east gave us the opportunity to have both the ensuite and the barbecue area to take advantage of the morning sun and the region’s predominant ventilation. At the same time, it helped to protect the ground floor from the sunset light using a concrete wall that blocks the sunlight inside the house. With the major orientation E-W, the house opens to the northern landscape. Extensive eaves on the north view’s perimeter protect the openings of the summer sun, at the same time as the glasses receive the necessary natural heat to naturally warm the inside during the winter.
    We requested that two trees were precisely placed by the topographer in the middle of the elevated deck that connects the house to the suspended heated pool. These also work as a natural filter to the sun’s radiation, minimizing the sun’s entry in the living room and the kitchen. The 25m pool, a client wish, is a fundamental part of the volumetric composition of the house. Sustained by two concrete columns, they elevate the pool 6m above the natural floor level, providing to whom’s inside the pool a view of the treetops and the imponent Elephant’s Hill. With the capacity to generate about 1400kW of energy per month through photovoltaic panels, the house is self-sufficiency on energy, warming the pool water and neutralizing the energy consumption from equipment and artificial lightning.
    Columns and ribbed slab represent the constructive system. The use of apparent concrete in the house’s wall, swimming pool, and slabs bring the timelessness wanted to the project.
