Overview
The Goicoechea Municipal Pools are completely renewed. The complex is reorganised into four areas (entrance, pool zone, changing rooms and administration building) and once again becomes a place of health, sport and community gathering for the canton.
The interior space is defined by a corrugated sheet ceiling that captures the movement of the water and projects it across the whole roof. Strips of natural light run lengthwise along the structure and lighten the visual weight of the complex. Ventilated facades and light metal roofs ensure thermal comfort and make maintenance easier. A pedestrian plaza and green areas organise the entrance and encourage gathering away from the water.
The facility returns to the Goicoechea community as a dignified and accessible place for collective enjoyment.
