Wood played a crucial role in the interior design of the baths. The planners wanted to create a quiet and at the same time lively and harmonious atmosphere, and they have succeeded very well.
The finely profiled real wood surfaces made of light, knotless, processed silver fir wood make a decisive contribution to this positive impression. They are arranged undulating between the concrete beams of the ceiling on a wooden structure. They are called Ligno Acoustic light and were manufactured by cross laminated timber specialist Lignotrend.
In order to enhance the charisma of the wood surface, the architects wanted to integrate the necessary ceiling fixtures as discreetly as possible. The openings for the ventilation system, for example, are designed as narrow joints between panels and joists. The lighting was completely decoupled from the wooden elements.
Of course, all built-in elements meet the building physics requirements. There is no reason why wood should not be used for indoor swimming pools. The material will always remain dry. To meet the requirements for a public assembly room, a special version of the acoustic panels fulfils the criterion of a “flame-retardancy of the surface”.
