Larry Anderson
Sauna Designer/Builder
Hi – I am Larry Anderson, and I love building traditional Finnish saunas for folks.
Sauna isn’t just something I build—it’s part of who I am. With Finnish roots, I grew up understanding that a proper sauna is more than heat and steam. It’s a ritual. A place to slow down, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with the natural world. That tradition is at the heart of every sauna I build.
I’ve always worked with my hands. From an early age, I was drawn to building, shaping, and creating things that last. That hands-on experience carries into my approach today—where craftsmanship, patience, and attention to detail matter just as much as the finished product.
Living near Lake Superior has shaped the way I think about sauna. There’s nothing like stepping out of the heat into the crisp air, hearing the water, feeling the elements. That contrast—hot and cold, stillness and movement—is something I try to capture in every project. Whether it’s a lakeside build or a backyard retreat, I design saunas to feel connected to their surroundings.
I focus on traditional Finnish sauna principles: proper airflow, balanced heat, quality materials, and layouts that create a soft, even löyly. No shortcuts, no gimmicks—just honest building rooted in tradition.
For me, a sauna should feel timeless. Built right, it becomes a place you return to again and again—a place to unwind, to gather, and to carry on a tradition that’s been around for generations.
If you’re looking for a sauna built with respect for that tradition—and the craftsmanship to match—I’d be honored to build it.
Eric Kinnunen
Sauna Designer/Builder
Hi, my name is Eric. The Finn is in my last name, and the desire for quality is in my eyes.
For many years at the beginning of my career, I labored in the Keweenaw as a masonry worker. Of course, after long days of laying concrete or setting block, I would relax my muscles in a traditional wood-fired sauna.
Growing up in a big family, the sauna was as much a tool as it was a luxury. It provided a great way to save money with bucket washing instead of using hot water from the tank, and it also taught us hard work. Dad would fell the tree, and we all hauled the wood to the truck to unload it at the woodshed. As we grew older, we would also be tasked with splitting and stacking the wood.
After 15 years in the construction industry, I recently decided enough was enough, and now is the time to plunge into something I’ve always wanted to do.
I am excited about the entrepreneurial journey. Additionally, living a healthy life and getting the most out of life is my passion, and I hope to pass that along to you through the sauna experience.
Taking my construction experience and the tips and tricks passed down from my ancestors for sauna building, I assure you that our saunas can be standing and beautiful for YOUR next generation. We use only high-quality products, and our sauna designs will be customized to your needs. Traditionally, Finnish people use a lot of water in the sauna. That’s what I grew up on. We will design your sauna in the best possible way to ensure it does not rot. Proper design and ventilation are crucial to making sure saunas do not rot.
We very much lived off the ol’ saying: “He who makes his own wood, is twice warmed.”
If you can dream it, we can build it.
