Recipient of both an AIA/Minnesota
2003 Honor Award and a Wood Design and Building 2003
Merit Award, the Emerson Sauna in Duluth, Minnesota by
Salmela Architect is a small, yet poetic and witty building.
Situated on the property of a client for which the architect
previously designed a light wood house, the brick and wood
structure is reminiscent of Finnish farmsteads, as the Merit
Awards assert, but also it is an elemental rendering of "house",
in the vein of Aldo
Rossi.
