Compact indoor sauna design with efficient heater sizing and moisture protection.
Kyle wanted a sauna inside his garage in Reno — compact, efficient, and done right. We designed a 6.5×6.5 layout with an 8kW electric heater with WiFi controls, a continuous vapor barrier with taped seams, and a balanced ventilation system to keep the air fresh. A garage is a challenging environment for a sauna, so moisture control was the central focus of the design — and the result is a lot of performance packed into a small footprint.
“High quality done quickly. Exceeded expectations with how quickly it heats and comfort.”
Estimated design/build range: $9-12k depending on finishes and site conditions. This is a planning range only; your contractor provides the final price.
Includes the layout, materials list, heater sizing, bench dimensions, and design notes — everything you need to use this project as a reference for your own build.
