The river pool is planned on the Wipkinger side of the river. The system is concieved as an extension of what already exists.
The proximity to the water is essential for the expression of the project and the well-being of the visitors. Since the Limmat causes significant fluctuations in the water level, the pool is planned as a floating raft construction. The construction consists of a filigree wooden construction with a characteristic structure. The deep horizontal struts reinforce the supports and at the same time serve as fixed sun protection. The sliding lamellar shade elements offer additional protection.
