Community Sauna - Campwell Farm
AAVA, Bradford-on-Avon, 2024
Community Sauna - Campwell Farm is a community facility situated amongst trees on a family farm near Bath
The sauna with cold dip tanks is used by locals, from men's mental health groups and public sessions to silent saunas and private use. The wood-fired sauna has become a weekly ritual for many users, replacing a pint at the pub with a catch-up around the fire. The sauna is built on a bespoke trailer chassis, allowing it to move around the site, chase the sunshine, and find privacy among the trees as the landscape changes through the seasons. Built by local craftsmen from locally sourced materials to serve the local community, the success of the sauna far exceeds the sum of its parts.
