The Breakwater Sauna represents Harbor's most comprehensive outdoor experience, expanding the sauna into a connected sequence of purposeful spaces. Much like the interconnected forms of early New England buildings and working coastal structures, each component contributes to a cohesive, functional whole. Building upon the design language established by our flagship Lighthouse Sauna, the Breakwater carries forward Harbor's continued exploration of maritime architectural practice, preserving the centuries old ritual of sauna within.
Using the sauna room as its starting point, the Breakwater extends the experience beyond its walls. A covered porch connects the main sauna to an enclosed changing alcove, opening further to an isolated outdoor shower which allows the surrounding landscape to feel even more closely tied to the experience. Each space serves a distinct purpose while remaining carefully connected, creating a natural progression that unfolds with intention.
Clad in our flagship Weathered Grey cedar, the Breakwater echoes the timeless exterior patina found present across coastal regions. Over time, the cedar will continue to weather naturally, protected by a hand mixed exterior linseed oil-based paint. A salvaged brass maritime light and additional antique brass fixtures provide a subtle statement piece on the porch exterior.
Within, the sauna features a HUUM HIVE 11kW electric heating element, with heat retention achieved through ROCKWOOL insulation and a vapor barrier. Ventilation is achieved passively from both an intake by the heater and gapped flooring, with airflow exiting through a sliding vent under the top bench.
Like the enduring buildings that inspired its form, the Breakwater is designed to become a lasting experience within the landscape.

Featured Exterior Fixture
ORCA Outdoor Shower
A thoughtful addition to the Breakwater Sauna, the ORCA Outdoor Shower is crafted from copper and brass that will take on a beautiful patina with continued use. This shower is reduced down to its most elemental form: pipe, valves for flow, and a generous shower head.
We offer this shower exclusively for its natural integration with the brass fixtures we utilize on the Breakwater Sauna exterior. Just as we envision our saunas looking better with time spent in the outdoors, this shower will age timelessly over the years ahead.

05
How do I prepare my site for delivery?
There are several options to choose from to prepare your site prior to delivery. We recommend preparing a level pad of either stone or concrete in the area you want your sauna to be placed upon delivery. The size of the site will vary based upon the footprint of the model you purchase. Depending on proximity to the closest power source, installing a power line may also be required.
We recommend consulting with a local contractor or 3rd-party site prep service to ensure this is done correctly prior to delivery.
If you wish for your sauna to be placed in a difficult or precarious location, a more involved site prep and service involving cranes and additional team members may be necessary. Please let our team know if feel your delivery site may fall outside the normal installation scope and we will coordinate with you prior to delivery.
At this time, our team is unable to perform site preparations ourselves. Please consult our Site Prep Guide for more details on site requirements for your sauna.

How do I clean and maintain my sauna?
We designed our saunas to age in the outdoors and harsh environments without any necessary cleaning and maintenance. If the event that you wish to provide supplemental or periodic treatment to the exterior of your sauna, please consult our Cleaning & Maintenance Guide.
If you wish to clean the interior benches or floor of your sauna after personal or guest use, you can easily clean your sauna by wiping down with either a damp cloth or sponge with a mild soap, avoiding any products containing strong or harsh chemicals. You may wish to do a more thorough cleaning once a year.
