FREYA - Floating Sauna

Oslo Fjord Spa is part of the constellation developed by Greenboats Oslo. In Green Boats floating saunas, you get an urban, Nordic experience close to the popular Aker Brygge in central Oslo.

Freya is a bespoke floating sauna designed by Facundo Arboit, Partner at BCW Collective. The motivation for this design stems from a contemporary reinterpretation of the sauna experience. Facilitated by better glas and fire safety technology, the sauna experience has transformed from a compressed, hermetic, rural experience into an opportunity to connect with nature and build community in urban settings.

It is with this in mind that the experience of total connection with the fjord became the center of the design intention. The sauna is a cross between a glass house and a jumping platform, fitting up to 15 people and creating the perfect stage for “aufguss” sauna ritual performances.

The Oslo floating sauna miljø has been steadily growing during the past few years, and with it, a myriad of experimental approaches to the sauna experience. Freya is clearly a great collaborator in this new wave.
