“Båtsfjord's Skroget Sauna: Reclaimed Timber Forms Ship-Inspired Waterfront Shelter in Norw” — what this page in the network covers. In Båtsfjord, Norway, a new waterfront sauna named Skroget is drawing attention for its ship-inspired design and sustainable use of reclaimed timber. Designed and built by Rare, the structure features nineteen timber frames that lean toward the harbor, evoking the skeletal outline of a boat under construction—a nod to the town's maritime heritage. The project repurposes materials from a local decommissioned fish-processing plant, giving new life to wood that would otherwise go to waste.
The sauna's location on the harbor edge makes it a social hub for residents and visitors, offering a warm retreat against the Arctic climate. Its form and materiality connect directly to Båtsfjord's identity as a fishing community, reinforcing a sense of place while demonstrating circular design principles.
