Columbus, Ohio

A private wellness retreat, built where you already live.

Sauna heat and cold water. Courts, pools, firelight and the quiet details that hold it all together. Built for you with ease.

What we build

The 3 Pillars We Build

Three Core Ways to Spend Time in your own backyard: moving, recovering, or doing blessedly little. And one way to have all of it. Open any of the four to see what we build.

The wellness ritual

Heat. Cold. Stillness.

Every retreat we build is designed around one thing: the contrast ritual. Warm through in the sauna until your shoulders drop. Step into the cold plunge for the jolt that clears your head. Rinse, breathe, and let the quiet settle. It’s the routine people book spa weekends for — and we build it permanently into your backyard.

“The best wellness space is the one you actually use every day.”

Your own backyard

The place you drive three hours to find already exists. It’s twenty steps from your kitchen. It just isn’t built yet.

How it works

From the first walkthrough to the first evening outside.

Our team reviewing plans with homeowners on their porch, yard behind them1

Step 1

Walk

We walk your yard with you and listen. How you train, how you unwind, who you host. The plan starts there, not with a catalog.

Step 2

Design

You see the whole space in detailed renderings before a single post goes in, and we refine it together until it feels inevitable.

Step 3

Build

Our own crew handles the full build from first post to final finish. Clean site, clear schedule, no handoffs to strangers.

Step 4

Retreat

Then it's yours. The first sauna, the first plunge, the first long evening out there. We stay reachable for whatever it needs.

Who we are

We built our own backyards first.

Black Diamond started with a habit we couldn’t shake: the heat of the sauna, the cold of the plunge, the few quiet minutes after that reset everything. We got tired of driving to chase it, so we built it at home. Ours first. Then our friends’. Then yours.

Today we’re a small, hands-on crew working across central Ohio. Good materials, clean lines, no shortcuts. Every yard gets the same standard as our own, because that’s the only standard we know.
