The pool opens out onto the surrounding gardens, its entrance being completely transparent. The roof of the pool is conceived as something providing comfort. It forms a delicate canopy allowing swimmers to appreciate the seasons’ changing light and casting reflections of rippling water and light on the façades of the neighboring buildings. The wide glass walls running between the main beams allow the light to filter through, giving form to the space and setting up vibrations throughout the pool area reflecting the rhythm of the light. The varying shape of this curved roof means that the pool areas have a quiet acoustic without unpleasant echoes. 

Opening towards the south, the complex is flooded with light. The design of the roof further contributes to the effects of light, being constructed so as to capture the warm and reddish evening light from the west as it falls on the curving roof without dazzling the swimmers. It is a place that enhances the pleasure of water beneath a broad expanse of sky, bringing together the pleasures of the site, the landscape, and of the emerging town.
