2014 APSP International Awards of Excellence
This is a commercial swimming pool for a very important resort. It has a boomerang shape. In the middle of the boomerang, there is a bridge that connects the lobby with the main living room. The owner wanted to have nice water noise at the entrance, so we installed 4 water spouts on each side of the bridge plus two large water features on the walls at the lobby area. The owner also wanted to have the illusion of the building emerging from the pool. Originally, there wasnt a pool planned for this area. It was a large garden area. There were a lot of electric, water, gas and sewer lines. It was a challenge to remove all these lines in a coordinated way in order to not suspend any service to the resort, which had important occupation during construction. At the end, we were able to provide a modern style swimming pool which blends perfectly with the resort architecture. The available width for the pool was limited, so we decided to provide a zero edge line which helps the pool gaining visual space and gives a very dramatic effect, In order to have an undisturbed water surface, we designed two underwater spas which blend with the rest of the pool and are able to have different temperatures than the rest of the facility.
