Finnish sustainability and world-class sauna craftsmanship meet the North American wellness movement toward healthier, nature-connected living.<\/em><\/p>\n

Maple Ridge, BC, Canada; Helsinki, Finland \u2013 October 24th 2025, Oct. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — \u2013 From rooftop retreats in New York to forest spas on the Pacific Coast, authentic sauna culture is experiencing a renaissance in North America. Saunas are gaining global momentum, transforming how wellness, people, and architecture connect.<\/p>\n

At the forefront of this global movement is Lunawood, the Finnish pioneer of sustainable Thermowood\u00ae<\/b> and toxin-free building practices.<\/p>\n

Today, Lunawood announces a partnership with the West Coast Sauna Summit\u00a0(WCSS)\u2014Canada\u2019s first sauna industry gathering\u2014to bring authentic Finnish sauna values and best sauna building practices to support the success of the next generation of wellness architecture across North America.<\/p>\n

The partnership launches with a global webinar, \u201cAuthentic Sauna Culture Meets Sustainable ThermoWood\u00ae\u201d<\/i> (Nov 4, 2025), where leaders in architecture, wellness, sauna building and design will explore how authentic sauna traditions, sustainable materials, and trends are shaping tomorrow\u2019s wellness architecture.<\/p>\n

Building Healthier Communities with Sauna<\/b><\/p>\n

Sauna and forestry wisdom are embedded in Lunawood\u2019s DNA. In Finland, sauna and forest\u00a0have long been intertwined: the forest provides the material, while the sauna transforms it into a\u00a0ritual that keeps people connected to nature, themselves, and their communities.<\/p>\n

As North America\u2019s wellness economy surpasses $2 trillion<\/b> and the sauna market is expected to grow toward $340.9 million by 2030<\/b>, architects and developers are seeking materials that meet both sustainability and eco-conscious building standards as well as human-centered design ideals. Lunawood ThermoWood\u00ae offers that bridge, enabling projects that are as responsible as they are sensory.<\/p>\n

Sustainable materials, sauna-building best practices and thoughtful design bring the essence of the forest to the forefront of the new wave of wellness architecture.<\/p>\n

\u00c6rth Saunas: A Case Study in Urban Wellness Innovation<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00c6rth Saunas in downtown Victoria, BC, Canada, brings this vision to life. A once-forgotten\u00a0alleyway between two heritage hotels in one of the busiest Canadian tourism centers has been\u00a0transformed into a vibrant urban wellness village, reconnecting people with ritual and nature in\u00a0the heart of the city.\u00a0The site features three saunas, cold plunges, a herb garden for pollinators (and visitors), and\u00a0community programming, showing how sustainable materials and thoughtful design can turn\u00a0overlooked urban spaces into thriving cultural gathering spaces.<\/p>\n

Designed by award-winning Hungarian architecture studio Hello Wood and with design choices\u00a0deeply embedded in neuroarchitecture, \u00c6rth is built with the same philosophy that drives\u00a0Lunawood: reconnecting people with nature through architecture and ritual. It demonstrates that\u00a0sauna is not only a timeless practice but also a blueprint for resilient, human-centered cities.<\/p>\n

Lunawood ThermoWood\u00ae is featured both in the warm, calming interior sauna elements and in\u00a0the exterior structures, such as fences and outdoor hot tubs, where natural beauty and longevity are equally essential.<\/p>\n

Working with local community groups, tourism organizations, hotels, and the city of Victoria, \u00c6rth is already contributing to the web of urban living in one of Canada’s most iconic tourism hubs through authentic sauna culture and design.<\/p>\n
