It all started on a trip to Europe, travelling around enjoying good food, culture, and wonderful architecture.
While in Finland, home of my wife's family I was introduced to the tradition of hot saunas and ice plunges. It was instant love for me, the hot steamy sauna, and the icy cold refreshing water. I was very quickly addicted to this combination and visited a sauna every day.
In Italy I enjoyed long summers days, wood fire pizza and local wines. The taste of pizzas authentic was incredible, nothing compares to it.
It was on this trip while immersing myself in culture and fine foods I was compelled to bring it all home with me.
So back in Australia, I got myself a backyard sauna. I started inviting friends and family to regular sauna evenings, and everyone would bring a bag of ice to fill the ice plunge.
I soon started craving the amazing pizza I had in Italy and made space for a pizza oven. A new family tradition had begun: Pizza Sundays.
I wanted everyone to be a part of this, to experience it all! I decided I wanted to expand the love and that an online store would help bring some of this style, culture and luxury living to Australian homes.
I took the plunge and started House of Cypress. I wanted to offer people an easy way to enhance their quality of life, their health, to de-stress and rejuvenate at the comfort of their own home.
Quality products, the ones that would create well-being and joy, delivered straight to your home, that was the plan. This vision has now become real and I’m so happy that you have found our site.
Thanks for stopping by and learning about my love story of European lifestyle, hope you’ll get to experience it too!
Best regards,
Peter Russ.
