The wellness wing

Heat, steam, cold — built into the house.

A custom sauna, a steam shower, a cold plunge — built as one engineered wing of the home, not bolted on after. Akopi Builders has built across Los Angeles since 2014.

Heat

Custom saunas — cedar · hemlock · wood-fired

Heat-rated assemblies, hidden ventilation, controls that disappear. Built into the house and engineered like the rest of it — not a kit dropped into a closet. Custom saunas

Steam

Steam showers — vapor-sealed · stone-lined · silent

A steam room is a waterproofing problem before it is a luxury. We solve it in the drawings, then build it silent and stone-lined.

Cold

Cold plunge — chilled · filtered · indoor or out

Filtration, chilling, and drainage engineered in — indoors off the primary suite, or out where the house meets the climate.

The full wellness suite

One engineered wing, not three add-ons.

Heat, steam, cold, and rest sequenced into a single run of the house — so the rooms work together and the systems behind them stay invisible. The hard part is never the finish; it is the four trades that meet behind the wall.

Waterproofing
Vapor and standing water in one assembly — solved in the drawings, before a single tile is set.
Ventilation
Heat and humidity moved without noise; intakes and exhaust hidden in the build, not bolted on after.
Electrical
Heaters, chillers, controls and lighting loaded and circuited with the rest of the house.
Drainage
Slopes, weeps, and plunge filtration sequenced so water leaves the room the way it should.

For architects and designers

Wellness rooms are where good drawings go to die — heat, vapor, and water in one assembly. We build them as drawn, and the rest of the house to match.
