Project overview
Project overview:
The swimming pool is composed of a sports pool, a leisure pool, a slide, a toddler pool and a wellness area with sauna, hammam and sports rooms.
The project relies on highlighting the existing elements of the site:
- Ruins whose walls serve as a setting for the palm-tree alley,
- Privileged views over the wooded park, through a large eastern façade,
- Adapting to the natural slope, playing with differences in level,
- Reconstituting the natural slope of the site by repairing the "scar" left by the excavation made to install the commercial surface.
All these arrangements aim to create a harmonious building, favouring:
- A wide structuring forecourt, opening onto the city through the roundabout, on the Rue Pierre Loti side,
- Optimal sunlight on the pools, oriented along a very open south façade in continuity with the decks on Rue de Keravel,
- A functional and convivial interior layout, favouring well-being and a sense of escape, articulated around the palm-tree alley.
