Details to Consider for Light, Water and Air

Lighting

Main pool:
Natural lighting is important for the main pool area and large windows provide this. There is also artificial lighting (concealed LED strips) built in to the prism ceiling.

Dark pool:
I will have LED lighting running along the underside of all the bench seats, projecting a light path on the ground, to guide people along the walkway – in dark and light conditions. Other areas will have concealed up lighting for a soft non-direct glow.

Pool Edges + Draining:

The drain above would be useful in my bath house, where I would run it along the side of each pool to stop the water overflowing the walkway. The drain is also flush and, so there would be no hazard tripping over or slipping on it.

Air Ventilation

In order to avoid mould from growing on the surfaces of the interior of my bath house, I have researched ways how I will ventilate my building, taking into consideration the effects and health conditions (diagram below).

Below is shown how I would ventilate my bath house interior. Fresh air supply to the pool areas can be incorporated into the prism ceiling For natural ventilation, there is also a slim window at the top of the wall (separating the pool and pocket forest) in room with the dark pool – [not marked in colour on the plan].
