PARK PAVILION
SWIMMING POOL IN PIASECZNO, POLAND The design of the swimming pool in Piaseczno is a continuation of the concept selected in the architectural competition in 2020, which was organised by the Municipality of Piaseczno with the participation of the Association of Polish Architects. The idea is to create a building as a place emanating peace, in the form of a park pavilion, which will differ markedly from the commercial form of this type of facility. The volume of the building is set back from the road, thus enabling the creation of a landscape buffer emphasising the character of the pavilion. The composition is based on the shifting of the main volumes (competition and recreational swimming pool halls) in order to create two patios separated by trellises, which will create a form of transition between the interior and exterior of the building. The greenery inside the enclaves not only influences the gradation of the zones surrounding the building, but has also a powerful effect on the atmosphere in its interiors. All design solutions focus on minimising the impact of the facility on the natural environment. The building structure will consist of glued laminated timber elements and CLT technology. Striving for homogeneity of solutions, natural 16
wood will also be used in the acoustic finishing system and on the building façade. The coherence of materials introduces harmony in the interiors and informs their unique, natural character consistent with the landscape. The equipment installed inside the building aim at high energy efficiency. A photovoltaic installation will be placed on the roof of the building. All other installations are located within the building‘s cubature. The pool technology will make use of the highly effective heat recovery from the pool’s basin water with the recovery of both water and heat. Additionally, heat will also be recovered from sanitary sewage. www.p2pa.pl sb 3/2022
