We caught up with Jon Uglow, the garden designer whose vision and direction brought the landscape surrounding this bespoke sauna and wellness space to life. In the interview, Jon shares how the immersive, mystical garden was inspired by Lord of the Rings, and is made up of features to resemble a natural and serene setting, all curated to enhance the sauna as the focal point.
While Jon had worked with saunas before, this was the first project to include an entire retreat-like setting, including a living space, a treatment room, a hot tub, an ice bath, and accommodation.
“This project demonstrates what becomes possible when collaborators share values and when projects are developed with beauty, craftsmanship, and longevity in mind.”
