A series of undulating slope-shaped line-shaped volumes are located on the site, supported by steel frames. They not only echo the local low-rise building settlement texture but also evoke the memories of the former industrial buildings and villages in the area with their simple forms. The roof skylights and reflective materials maintain the industrial atmosphere, while the large windows and thick window frames create a distinct separation from the surrounding buildings, achieving a subtle balance between the old and the new forms.
As a large swimming pool space with a span of over 30 meters, the design discards the constraints of symmetrical layout and regular beams and columns, pursuing the juxtaposition of order and freedom. The core logic is that the structure serves the spatial framework. The two water surfaces and four sets of columns are arranged in a staggered manner, and the roof, columns, and water surface are not aligned with each other. This not only realizes the continuous extension of the water surface but also leads to the giant skylight. Engineers added V-shaped supports to the lower chord of the truss to form an inverted quadrangular pyramid to enhance stability.
The swimming pool is generated based on the terrain and functional requirements: the continuous roof, multiple water surfaces, and integrated structure grow naturally from small volumes to large ones. The plane discards the mechanical division of walls and creates a continuous space with limited and open characteristics through the design of the moving line of sight. The restaurant, children's book library, and fitness area can be seen from each other. People's lines of sight are unobstructed and the flow lines are independent, combining clear guidance with the rich and labyrinth-like experience.
In the space, the rhythm of the steel frame and the roof, as well as the gentle sunlight, bring a dual feeling of limitation and freedom. The water surfaces interlace and sparkle in the forest, even though the water temperature is slightly cold, the moment of jumping in allows the body to break free and gain true freedom.
