Richter Gedeon Swimming Pool

Budapest, District 10, Gyömrői road,
Hungary
2008

The swimming pool was built for the employees of the Richter Gedeon factory with the almost complete reconstruction of the old building. The rationally organized layout and volume of the swimming hall is loosened by the contrasts of the solid and transparent materials, warm and cold surfaces, light and dark contours.

The outer wooden cladding and the vegetation around the building indicates its function in the gloomy suburban environment. The interior design intends to enhance the blueness of the pool through the contrast between the use of the light wood and the anthracite ceramic flooring.

The concept of the night lighting has the same role, therefore making the pool shine in a relatively dark space, meanwhile the strong lighting of the outdoor vegetation oozes through the slots and glass surfaces.
