This building is a swimming-pool and sanitary facilities for the Mata
do Cabo Leasure Park at S. Joao da Pesqueira, Portugal. The park has
a swimming-pool, a camping, a basketball/football field, a tennis
court and a mediterranean forest now an urban park. Downhill,
we designed a football stadium, to be built in the near future.
The building replaces the old facilities of the existing swimming-pool,
which was rebuilt, repaved and kept in its original site, above the
street level. It becomes somehow a wall-building, the public face
of the Park.
The main entrance to the swimming-pool is the central stairway, leading
to the dressing/locker rooms, passing through the showers and toilets
area and connecting to the swimming-pool platform through a semi-covered
corridor, overlooking the outside parking-lot. The entrance to the
Camping and Leasure Park is a car ramp for trailers and emergency
vehicles.
The bar has two counters, serving swimmers at the lawn solarium (with
a long terrace under the basketball/football benches canopy) and campers
at the interior bar (with a terraced restaurant at the upper level).
Users from the Camping will access directly to the shower and toilet
facilities located at the top floor of the building (handicapped at
groundfloor), climbing the stairs which cut transversely the building.
The elevator tower (handicapped users only) is connected by long catwalk-corridors
to the upper levels of the park, namely the restaurant terrace overlooking
the swimming-pool and the sportsfield benches, whose suspended canopy
reinforces the overall horizontal effect.
