Two new building volumes increase the density of the facility on its southern side. In the east, the glazed hall with its 25 metres long sports pool is connected to the existing structure. The pitched roof is supported by truss girders arranged in pairs set on top of slender steel columns. Similar to the other roofs of the cluster, it features anthracite grey slate roofing, displaying a minimalist character, without any overhangs. Gutters are also absent or invisible. The result is a continuous roof landscape complemented by a facade consisting of dark wooden siding, uniformly merging old and new. Large frameless windows were arranged in a targeted manner and interrupt the otherwise closed facade envelope. The new entrance is situated on the northwestern side. Different than the facades and roofs with their dark hues, the interior displays a bright character: Walls, floors and pools are covered in white tile.
The visibly exposed insulation consists of lightweight wood wool panels. The existing triangular trusses feature a white painted finish. An appealing improvement – prior to the renovation, many different colours had been jumbled together. A glazed wall affords visitors a view of the three basins, arranged in succession: The existing pool is now a leisure pool with massage jets, followed by the new children’s pool and the hall with the modern sports pool. Its tall roof structure and the building services are concealed by an acoustic ceiling consisting of unfinished wood slats. From the glazing to the eaves, they display a dark stain finish. The glazed facade allows daylight to enter and illuminate the water surface. In return, swimmers are granted a view of the soccer field outdoors.
