The terraced building structure, embedded into the slope and defined by its wide-span roof halls, presents an innovative design that impressively integrates into the surrounding landscape.
Due to the deep excavation into the terrain, extensive temporary shoring measures were required during construction. The building was designed to independently absorb the significant earth pressure exerted by the slope once in its final state. The entire structure is founded on deep foundations using cast-in-place concrete bored piles. The basement levels, constructed using waterproof concrete (white tank method), and the upper floors embedded into the hillside were realized in reinforced concrete construction.
The roofs of the indoor pool halls are set at two different height levels and were constructed as steel structures with timber cladding. To largely avoid internal columns within the pool halls, the height offset between the two roof areas was bridged by a wide-span truss, reaching spans of up to 40 meters.
The main building accommodates a swimmer’s pool, a leisure pool, a diving pool with diving tower, a water slide with landing pool, a children’s pool, a teaching pool, and a sauna area. Outside, a landscaped open-air pool area is being developed, featuring a swimming pool, a leisure pool, and a paddling pool.
