A MARINE VIEW
The Bathhouse is the icon of the new artificial beach, and the centre of leisure activities in this lively neighbourhood: a single-storey building comprising an observation deck, and indoor and outdoor shower areas, changing rooms and ancillary facilities. Inspired by the beautiful natural setting, the Bathhouse was designed as landform architecture, to organically merge with the seafront. There are three different levels between the road and the water, starting with the observation deck near the entrance, which is elevated above the beach, providing a panoramic sea view. The observation deck roof echoes the line of the ridge, and provides a comfortable shelter for people to gather and relax. Down the central ramp is a triangular outdoor shower area, and changing rooms are scattered along intermediate platforms.
