Plant Design: Technical Office of Eng. Luca Pizzorni
The project, designed in collaboration with Neostudio (architectural design) and engineer Luca Pizzorni (facility design), involves replacing the existing pool, which had already been demolished, with a new building that blends into the unique and delicate coastal setting through its volumetric composition of regular, square shapes.
A large single-pitched roof sloping from east to west supported by metal truss beams covers the pool area and the public spaces and characterizes the volume.
From a structural point of view, the choices, in addition to the architectural design, had to adapt to the plant design which, given the intended use, plays a predominant role.
For the foundations, a mixed foundation system of slabs and beams was created to better adapt to the different load areas.
The predominant system of vertical structures is reinforced concrete walls with a limited number of pillars concentrated in the northern area of the building and metal columns supporting the roof.
The floors are of two different types: on modular formwork with variable heights and on predalles slabs.
The steps are prefabricated, including the step-supporting beams. The floor beams are partly prefabricated and partly cast-in-place.
The roof is of the steel lattice type with round profiles made up of 7 adjacent frames and metal columns.
This structural system pursues a dual objective:
Integration between the use of proven technologies and innovative solutions that allow us to exploit the potential offered by the development of the construction industry;
Ensure the quality of execution of the work.
