The Fallow
‘When farmland is left for a period without being sown in order to restore its fertility.’
The Fallow Sanctuary
These spaces are a place of peaceful retreat and quiet growth, aligning with the experience of pausing and reconnecting with nature. Each sanctuary is a personal space where stillness and renewal are cultivated, a perfect complement to the journey through the sauna.
The treatment rooms
The materiality of our Fallow sauna sanctuaries is a carefully crafted blend of natural elements designed to enhance both the journey and the experience of the spa. The architecture and joinery draw inspiration from the organic forms of the land itself, creating a seamless flow between the built environment and the natural world. Each sauna pod is constructed using sustainably sourced wood, with rich, tactile finishes that evoke warmth and grounding—textured surfaces of raw oak, cedar, and larch that invite touch and connection.
As you move through the space, the materials transition to mirror the shifting states of the body. The smoothness of polished stone floors guide you into the sauna, where the heat is embraced by the natural wood, warming the air with a soothing scent of timber. The contrast of cool, sculpted stone surrounds in the cold immersion area heightens the sense of renewal and clarity, sharpening the senses and enhancing the overall therapeutic experience.
The joinery—crafted with precision—creates a seamless, almost hidden quality, ensuring the flow between the spaces feels effortless. The design emphasizes the journey from warmth to coolness, with each pod crafted to evoke a sense of stillness and ritual. From the rich textures of wood and stone to the subtle interplay of light and shadow, the architecture amplifies the restorative effects of the spa, making the journey through each space not just physical, but a deeply immersive, sensory experience. Every element, from the materials to the design, is carefully selected to guide you toward a deeper connection with both the space and your own well-being.
The Garden
At Fallow, the ethos of our planting reflects a commitment to ecological harmony and sustainability, creating a space where nature is both nurtured and celebrated. The garden design and naturalized planting at the heart of our sanctuary are intentionally crafted to work in balance with the environment, prioritizing native species, perennials, and low-maintenance plantings that enrich the local ecosystem.
Our approach to planting isn't just about beauty—it’s about contributing to the land in a way that promotes biodiversity, supports local wildlife, and creates a resilient, thriving landscape. By choosing plants that naturally belong to the region, we reduce the need for artificial irrigation and fertilizers, fostering a self-sustaining environment that mirrors the ethos of fallow—a period of rest and regeneration.
As you move through the space, the planting unfolds with you. Each step you take reveals new textures, colors, and fragrances that engage your senses. The naturalized garden creates an immersive experience, where the land feels as though it’s growing around you, inviting you to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect. The changing seasons bring new life and quiet beauty to the garden, while the timelessness of perennial plants reminds you that the earth’s rhythms are always in motion, waiting for you to slow down and tune in.
This space is more than just an aesthetic backdrop—it’s a living, breathing part of the Fallow experience. The gardens work as a reminder that our connection to the earth is constant, and by nurturing this environment, we, too, are nurtured. The impact of our planting goes beyond the physical—it’s a deep, ecological relationship that invites renewal, both for the land and for you.
