PRC Embassy Pool Enclosure

2015

Client: People’s Republic of China Embassy

Photographer: John Gollings

Project:
In designing this new building within the Chinese Embassy compound to enclose an existing 25 x 10m in ground swimming pool, Townsend + Associates Architects have provided a place of reflection and beauty; a building that allows its users to bathe in light as well as water.

Through an assembly of minimal and repetitive elements the architects have transformed an existing redundant outdoor pool creating a holistic environment to support year round swimming and wellbeing.
