BRIEF:
The newly completed Hollywood Swimming Pool & Bath House is intended to replace an existing facility constructed in the early 1950’s. The new structure is on the northeast edge of an urban community multi-use recreation park. The overall park site also includes a multi-purpose gymnasium and sports fields all within the City of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation system. The project scope includes the construction of a new bath house, pool deck, water slide with reception pool, and new 125 ft. x 75 ft. pool with new filtration systems and equipment. Programmatically, the bath house consists of a central cashier that acts to control building access to the men’s and women’s changing rooms, while maintaining clear lines of visibility to the pool deck. A family changing room, lifeguard restroom, first aid, lifeguard training room, and storage complete the program, while a glazed lifeguard office monitors pool deck activity. Formally the building maintains its security by an enclosing skin scaled to a height of nearly ten feet with limited penetrations of strategically located openings. A clerestory rests on top of the perimeter wall providing natural light. A dramatic faceted roof profile expresses energy in motion. The intention is to create an inviting and exciting new facility for the community that brings people together.
