- Re Stuudio MTÜ is not responsible for personal belongings.

Heating instructions
- Place the firewood on the grate at the back of the combustion chamber, leaving sufficient air gaps between the logs. Light the kindling and close the heater door. The heater must not be used with the door open.
- The chimney has no damper; the draft can be regulated by opening or closing the heater's ash tray. Keep the ash tray slightly ajar at the start of firing to ensure better airflow. Once the fire is burning well and the sauna is already hot, the ash tray can be closed.
- Do not overheat the sauna heater! The recommended sauna temperature is 70–80°C. Temperatures exceeding 100°C or prolonged exposure to high heat will burn out the heater.
- Pour water only onto the sauna stones and in small amounts. Allow the stones to heat up again before pouring more water.
- If you are the last sauna guests, please leave the sauna door open so the room can air out.
- If you notice any irregularities in the operation of the sauna heater or chimney—for example, smoke entering the sauna room or the sauna failing to heat up (after one hour of heating in summer or 1.5 hours in winter)—stop using the heater and notify the sauna manager.
Enjoy the steam!
Klooga Kosk valmimise lugu
Klooga Kosk was completed in 2022 through a collaboration between Re Stuudio MTÜ and the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) as part of a construction internship for interior architecture students. The inspiration for creating a community sauna stemmed from the Klooga community’s tradition of celebrating the “Viska Leili” sauna day on February 24th.
“Klooga Waterfall” symbolizes purification on the levels of the individual, Klooga’s past, and the environment. The roofs of the steam room and changing room channel rainwater toward the center of the building, creating a waterfall effect. “Klooga Waterfall” generates fresh, flowing energy for visitors and the community, offering an opportunity to connect with the natural environment.
