This new €14.5 million building contains a 25-metre swimming pool and two smaller baths.
The design is fluid, both on plan and in the form of openings: windows and skylights have rounded corners.
Programme elements are organised in the form of light, coloured, rounded bubbles.
The solarium on the roof has an elliptical “beach” border of wood laths that is accessible via an indoor-outdoor ramp around the swimming pool hall and provides access to the ‘fifth facade’.
External facades are clad with undulating wooden slats to evoke circular movements on the surface of water.

An undulating translucent double skin
The architects designed the building’s envelope to attenuate the linear effect of the massing and to introduce a variation in the visual perception according to the viewing angle. All the external walls are faced with undulating golden wooden slats that recall the circular movements on the surface of water and make reference to the circulation of energy and flows: the Feng Shui. The undulations move around the building and visually attenuate its rectangular geometry.
A swimming pool in a spatial continuum
Mikou Design Studio designed the Fort swimming pool in a spirit of fluidity and openness. The development of the spaces gives priority to transparency and the depth of field associated with very good use of daylight. All the facades are open and accessible, and the various elements of the programme are organised in the form of light, coloured, rounded bubbles, floating on the project’s spatial continuum.
A solarium on the roof
The design scheme by Mikou Design Studio emphasizes the roof as a determinant element of the Fort swimming pool. We provided an elliptical “beach” border of wood laths that is accessible via an indoor-outdoor ramp that runs along the swimming pools hall and provides access to the fifth facade.
