A partnership rooted in restoration: Thermasol's steam and shower systems join a sauna from Almost Heaven Saunas to create a complete heat-to-cold wellness journey across Stardust Ranch.
ROUND ROCK, Texas, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Thermasol has partnered with Stardust Ranch, an experiential design retreat in Round Top, Texas, and designer Jessica Love to integrate steam, digital shower and sauna wellness throughout the property.
- The collaboration features Thermasol's ThermaTouch® smart control, SteamVection® steamhead, HydroVive® rainhead and Digital Shower Valve, as well as a sauna from its sister brand Almost Heaven Saunas, creating a seamless daily wellness ritual.
- Stardust Ranch, founded by designer Jessica Love of Urbane Design, hosts interior designers, builders and architects from across Texas for immersive retreats and gatherings.
- The partnership pairs a Texas-based wellness manufacturer with a property built to celebrate Texas design and craftsmanship.
Thermasol, the pioneer of luxury steam and smart wellness technology, announced its partnership with Stardust Ranch; an experiential retreat in Round Top, Texas, built for the design and builder community to gather, connect and recharge. Working alongside designer Jessica Love, Thermasol supplied steam, digital shower and sensory systems that carry restoration through every layer of the property, from the primary suite to the outdoor bath house.
At Stardust Ranch, wellness is not an amenity; it is the property's fundamental reason for being. Part living showroom, part sanctuary, the 28-acre retreat welcomes designers, builders and architects from Houston, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and beyond for overnight stays, curated gatherings and events, giving an audience that spends its career creating spaces for others a place to experience restoration of their own.
"Stardust Ranch is a natural extension of what Thermasol has stood for since 1958, transforming daily rituals into elevated wellness experiences," said Nathan Hagemeier, President of Harvia U.S. and Region Head of North America, overseeing the company's portfolio including Thermasol and Almost Heaven Saunas. "Jessica Love built a property for people who design spaces for a living, which meant our systems have to be reliable enough to trust and refined enough to disappear into the design. That's exactly the kind of partnership we look for: one where technology becomes part of the daily ritual, not just an amenity."
A SEAMLESS STEAM AND SHOWER RITUAL, ROOM BY ROOM
Designer Jessica Love partnered with Thermasol to incorporate steam and shower systems built to leave an impression strong enough for guests to carry home into their own work, ruling out anything that reads as a spa treatment.
A ThermaTouch® control governs the experience from a single interface, while the SteamVection® steamhead disperses steam evenly with no hot spots. The HydroVive® rainhead unifies light, sound and water into one ceiling element, and behind the wall, a Pro Series III generator sits up to 50 feet from the shower while the Digital Shower Valve conceals in a wall cavity, keeping the wet area free of hardware and the design quiet and uncluttered.
Thermasol was chosen for its reliability and reputation, and for proximity. The company is headquartered less than two hours from the ranch. For a property built to celebrate Texas design and craftsmanship, partnering with Texas-based wellness manufacturer was a natural fit.
DESIGN INTEGRATION AND RESULTS
With the technology settled, Love designed around it for every sense, not just sight. Heated floors ground the primary bathroom, the amethyst cathedral crystals set into the shower stone echo Stardust Ranch's Round Top roots.
"Stardust Ranch was created as a place where the design community can come to rest, reconnect and be inspired," said Jessica Love, Interior Designer and founder of Stardust Ranch. "Integrating a wellness experience like steam helps create that pause, allowing guests to reset and carry that inspiration back into the spaces they create for others."
The steam shower in the main house has become a daily ritual at Stardust Ranch: a few minutes of enveloping heat before the day starts. Outdoors, a sauna from Almost Heaven Saunas sits in the open field near the hot tub and cold plunge. The walk to and from becomes part of the experience; guests move between hear, cold and rest at their own pace. Even the soaking tubs carry the theme forward, using a microjet system that folds millions of warm bubbles into the water, a quieter, more subtle message than a traditional jetted tub.
None of it works in isolation. The rhythm between rooms is the point: guests move from steam to plunge to soak, creating their own journey of restoration.
