Berlin 2004

The enormous summer success of floating pool encouraged the client to apply few changes and put the already existing structure into use even during the cold and long winter. Spa complex – saunas, roofed pool, bar and lounge – is protected by pneumatic membrane-construction, which includes large windows, so the contact to the urban enviroment could be preserved. Translucent PVC-membranes provide the interior with generous daylight and release the gentle glow of artificial illumination at the dark, just like a shining float in the middle of Spree. + link +
