Award 澳门王中王 South East Award 2024
Outdoor swimming has become increasingly popular since the Covid-19 pandemic, and this project at St Peter Port in Guernsey aims to cater for new participants. It involved a mixture of refurbishment, rebuilding, and extension of run-down existing facilities, to provide the best possible accommodation for swimmers of all ages. Despite being situated on a steep cliff and spread over four levels, the building is now fully accessible for all, and the essentials for outdoor swimming are open 24 hours a day. For less adventurous visitors, the entrance is into the caf茅 鈥� now a lively and social space with a roaring log fire.
Successfully integrating architecture with nature, the design makes a positive impact on both the community and the environment. With a 拢1.5 million construction cost and taking just a year from planning permission to completion, it is a great testament to both the architects and the client.
