We were approached by architects azbwh in 2016 with the idea to build a formal, modern Swimming Pond. The focus was on creating a very clear, almost reduced design for the facility while still conforming to the client’s explicit wish to preserve a pond-like look. The regeneration zone was thus split into three sections to better tie the house, terrace and water together. The hillside location and open vista all the way to Vienna were to be made integral elements of the ensemble. Following an intensive planning phase, we were commissioned to build the project in winter 2016. The basin itself was constructed by the client’s construction firm using formwork in spring 2017. It was lined in autumn, and installation of the technical components and woodwork was completed in April 2018.
