ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS the interior . The cantilever roof on the building ’ s entrance side acts as a canopy , which , together with the dug-in amphitheatre surface , forms the exterior entrance platform .
The materiality of the pool complex is very simple and restrained . The facade envelope of the floating roof is covered in natural , unvarnished timber boards , which will in time age and thereby further blend the building with the materiality of the surrounding forest . Together with the tilted geometry , the roof appears in the space as a paraphrase of the local rural development . The design of the amphitheatral spaces , i . e . the program platforms on the various levels , is homogenous and executed in local concrete with different surface finishes . The only material accent is found in the building ’ s interior . The bottom side of the floating pool roof volume is uniformly coloured in an intense , warm hue . The ceiling is thus rendered sufficiently present so as to act as a pleasant shelter for users , despite the pool space ’ s lack of filled perimeter walls . At the same time , the interior being accented in this way acts as an discreet invitation for the users of the surrounding exterior space .
