When Wellness Is Not a Function, but a Way of Life

When the Joy Family was created, we did not want to design just another sauna house.
From the very first sketches, one question guided us:

How can wellness truly become a natural part of the home all year round without compromise?

As the team behind iSauna Design Kft. we have spent more than two decades working to ensure that the sauna is not a standalone feature, but an integral part of a thoughtfully designed, harmonious living environment. The Joy Aurora is one of the purest expressions of this mindset.

Four Seasons. One Concept.

In our reference materials, we deliberately present the Joy Aurora in spring, summer, autumn, and winter settings. Not as a staged backdrop, but in real, everyday use. Because this building is not seasonal.

In winter, when snow softens the surrounding sounds, the contrast between the rising steam from the sauna and the warm interior lighting creates the protected, enclosed atmosphere we seek at this time of year.
In autumn, the colors of nature and the evening light slow the pace the sauna becomes a transition between day and night.
In spring and summer, the space opens up: large glass surfaces, the terrace, and relaxation zones live in harmony with the garden.

This is not a visual concept exercise. It is proof that the Joy Aurora was designed both technically and architecturally for all four seasons.

The Structure You Don’t See, Yet It Defines Everything

We always say: a truly good wellness house does not begin with finishes, but with structure.

The Joy Aurora is a custom-built outdoor wellness house with a carefully engineered spruce timber frame and a multi-layer thermal and moisture-control system. Heat-reflective membranes, vapor-permeable layers, and mineral wool insulation in the walls and roof all serve one purpose: to provide stable thermal comfort and predictable performance both in summer and winter.

The ventilated roof structure, concealed metalwork, and durable roofing materials are not visual design elements, yet they deliver the longevity and reliability expected from a wellness house designed for year-round use.

The Sauna Wellness House as a Center of Health

The heart of the Joy Family is a full-featured Finnish sauna.
For us, it was essential that the sauna not be a “hidden function,” but a natural part of the living space.

Inside, we use first-class Canadian red cedar, combined with ergonomic bench layouts, concealed ambient lighting, and professional sauna technology. The selected Harvia sauna heater and the intelligent iSauna Home control system allow for precise and reliable operation whether for a quick evening sauna or a longer, slower sauna ritual.

The sauna is directly connected to the relaxation and living areas. There is no need to “change for wellness” wellness here is woven into everyday life.

More Than a Wellness House

The Joy Family is not built around a single function. It is a complex space designed to enhance overall quality of life.

Relaxation zones, the terrace, optional wet areas, integrated lighting systems, sound technology, and finely tuned building services all work together to ensure that time spent here is truly meaningful.

Underfloor heating, carefully selected finishes, shading, and ventilation ensure that the building is not only visually refined, but also designed for long-term use planned to serve generations.

Authentic Sauna Experiences

In the reference images, life is intentionally present: conversations, relaxation, sauna sessions, quiet moments together.
We do not design sterile spaces.

We create buildings where you can sit down for a cup of tea after the sauna, where families spend time together while everyone still has their own space, and where nature is not a backdrop, but an active participant.
This is the Joy philosophy.

For us, the Joy Aurora is not just one product among many.
It is the embodiment of a mindset.

The mindset of a wellness home that is not seasonal, not trend-driven, but timeless, technically sound, and human-centered.

We present this reference because it represents exactly what iSauna Design Kft. stands for:
calm, quality, and genuine presence designed for generations.
