SWIMMING POOLS & LEISURE
The pleasant room atmosphere is primarily the result of the room-forming surfaces in warm earthy tones and natural building materials
The spatial program also includes a 25-metre pool and a 50-metre sport pool , a diving basin , and a family pool with water slides , children ’ s- and wave – pool , spread over three structures facing the lake in the form of wave crests . Circumferential , diagonally-cut window strips and irregularly corrugated sheet metal panels form a unifying building envelope inspired by water as a natural , dynamic element .
Natural materials and colors The pleasant room atmosphere is primarily the result of the room-forming surfaces in warm earthy tones and natural building materials , which have contributed to the Tinnerbäcksbadet achieving the Swedish Miljøbyggnad sustainability certificate in silver . In addition to ceiling acoustic panels made of cement-bonded wood wool , and wall panelling made of filigree wooden slats , the lively structured floor catches the eye : beige porcelain stoneware tiles in 600 x 600 mm format from the Savona series by Agrob Buchtal .
The Savona tiles can also be found in all public areas on the ground floor : in the foyer and in the restaurant , but also on the path from the side entrance to the 1400-seat spectator stand at the 50-metre competition pool . The transition to the changing area is immediately recognisable to swimmers . Here - as in the adjoining bathing areas - the Chroma Pool series is used and characterises the flooring in sand grey .
Soft shapes , flowing transitions Natural materials also characterise the bathing areas . Ceiling trusses and acoustic panels , as well as wooden wall panelling , harmonise here with the sand-grey Agrob Buchtal tiles of the pool surroundings and the bluish shimmering water basins . For seamless transitions , almost all of the pools are fitted with Chroma Pool in white-grey . The family pool area is an exception . Here , active white 25 x 25 mm mosaic tiles cover the elegantly curved pool walls and edges . Plural makes it possible to experience the various areas - from the counter-current system to the gently flowing beach of the wave pool - as a coherent , circular bathing landscape , both in plan and in cross-section . Another special feature are the custom-made channel stones of the Wiesbaden system from Agrob Buchtal . A recess on the side facing the water enables flush tiling up to just below the drain edge , so that the channel in this area is almost completely covered by the mosaic and is perceived as part of the pool wall . Similarly dynamic shapes , modelled from the same mosaic tiles ( albeit in light sand grey ), can be found in the spa area - where they are again combined with Savona .
