Hive Sauna

A mobile, wood-burning sauna for 8-10 people. Built during lockdown by an enthusiastic bunch of designers, craftspeople and volunteers, at our workshop in Moss Side.

The client

Hive are a health and wellness start-up running a mobile sauna and ice bath popup, at outdoor destinations across the country.

The brief

Hive commissioned Cityzen to produce a design and woodwork project, for local residents and community groups to connect with local designers and craftspeople, to learn new skills in diy.

Over a 4-week period, Cityzen guided a group of 10 individuals through a basic woodworking skill course to prepare materials, construct a timber frame, then waterproof, insulate and seal the sauna unit.
