Community Pool – St. Louis, MO – Fraser – Fall 2004

Community Pool - St. Louis, MO - Fraser - Fall 2004

This community pool transitions across a major grade change on a mostly open site.  The visitor enters the pool at upper level, proceeding to the pool through the lobby or through locker rooms at either side of the lobby. The pool enclosure is grounded on each corner – a sauna at one end and a children’s pool at the other.  Thin tall windows in each concrete structure mimic the vertical mullions in the curtain wall.

At night, light radiates out from the main glass structure, acting as a lantern on the site. The glow from the narrow windows defines the substructures more subtly.
