A Discipline of Restoration
Cedar & Slate designs and installs private recovery sanctuaries for those who understand that restoration is not a luxury — it is a discipline. Cold plunges, outdoor saunas, and the spaces that hold them, crafted with intention.
Heritage and Materiality
There is a reason the oldest bathhouses in the world were built from timber and stone. These materials breathe. They age with grace. They hold warmth and cold with equal patience. At Cedar & Slate, we believe a backyard should not merely be landscaped — it should be composed. A place where steam rises against cedars, where a plunge into cold water is not an endurance test but a homecoming.
We believe recovery is not about optimization. It is about creating a space so quiet, so private, so beautifully appointed that the act of restoration becomes instinctive. Every installation we design is a collaboration between the landscape, the architecture, and the rituals that matter most to you.
The Elements
Still water. Cold stone. Ceremony. Our plunge systems are selected for their silence, their craftsmanship, and their ability to hold a temperature without clamour. From the refined simplicity of the Plunge All-In to the handcrafted artistry of the Morozko Forge — each is a statement of intent.
Timber, steam, light. Our saunas draw from the Nordic tradition of löyly — the spirit of the steam. Barrel silhouettes, panoramic glass, and infrared warmth: each built from sustainably sourced cedar, each designed to frame the sky.
The full ritual. Contrast therapy — heat and cold — sequenced deliberately. Our bundles pair saunas with plunges in arrangements that bring the ancient practice of the Scandinavian bathhouse into your private garden.
The Process
01
Share your space, your preferences, and your vision. We listen before we propose.
02
We present a tailored plan: product selections, site layout, materials palette, and timeline.
03
Our certified partners handle delivery, setup, and integration. You receive a space that is ready from the moment the final stone is placed.
04
We provide a welcome guide, care instructions, and ongoing support. Your sanctuary is open.
The team understood immediately that we weren't looking for a cold plunge — we were looking for a place to begin and end each day with intention. The space they designed has changed how we live at home.
