Lakeside Bathing Facilities in Zug, Switzerland

These simple timber structures, housing facilities for bathers, screen the lake shore from the railway line to the north. The timber stud walls and the box-beam roof construction were both prefabricated. When closed, the doors and shutters form an integral part of the facade. In an open position, their natural wood inner faces are contrasted with the continuous white board cladding. Along the south side is an open, covered arcade; and a shading pergola has been erected in front of the kiosk. Solar panels on the planted roof augment the hot water supply.
