Projects

Every project below is published whole: the design idea, the dimensioned geometry, the walkable 3D model and the calculation reports with their assumptions on show. No pretty render without a number behind it.

Project 01 Under audit Heated indoor pool 14.50 m 12.50 m

Project 01 is in final review

The design idea is decided and the 3D model already assembles from the dimensions. What is still running is the re-dimensioning: two versions were failed by three independent reviewers each, and the second proved the programme would not fit the original depth once every wall carried the thickness construction actually needs — which is why the platform grew towards the reservoir. No engineering number reaches this page before it passes audit.

What is already fixed

  • A 14.50 m platform length, cut into a slope: retaining wall on one long face, the reservoir on the other
  • A 12.50 m swimming lane, measured in the water, wall to wall
  • Maximum floor depth of 2.00 m, guaranteeing at least 1.85 m of water
  • The water sits against the glazing rather than in the middle: the circulation deck and the service strip stay on the retaining side, where the ground is higher
  • Full programme allocated: sauna, whirlpool bath, children’s beach, submerged benches, drinks ledge, showers, two WCs and a plant room
  • Covered entrance under an external canopy on one short face; the other is blind

What is not settled yet

  • The platform depth. The client authorised cutting up to 9.00 m towards the reservoir, where the ground is lower and would be excavated anyway; the exact figure is what the current round is deciding, and every wall thickness follows from it.

The archive grows by commission. If you have a site with a hard constraint — a level change, a view, a climate, a tight footprint — that is exactly the kind of problem OITO enjoys solving. Get in touch.
