This sauna design utilises an otherwise hardly usable area in the upper termination of a stairwell without hindering the possibility of walking on the staircase located therebeneath. The sloping floor assists the air circulation within the sauna cubicle, reduces the non-usable space beneath the sauna benches and thus also the air volume which is to be heated. The sauna walls fitted on the ceiling and walls are ventilated in a closed system in order, on the one hand, to utilise the heat-insulating effect of the walls and of the ceiling and, on the other hand, to avoid the formation of condensation. The ventilation system opens into a shaft which terminates as a supply-air opening beneath the stove. Due to the fact that venting takes place in the upper region, the temperature gradient within the cubicle sets the forced-ventilation system in operation, the unavoidable heat losses, particularly on the ceiling, being guided automatically back into the cubicle. The sum of the design features for energy saving permits the connection of this sauna to the nearest 220-volt plug socket and allows a generous supply of fresh air without excessive amounts of heat thereby being lost. <IMAGE>
