Extension and modernisation of Val Blu outdoor pool and sauna in Bludenz

Gentle modelling

The architects of Pohl ZT are reorganising the outdoor pool. Thanks to the placement of the clearly shaped poolscape at the lowest point of the site, the terrain now forms a kind of arena around the water surfaces. These consist of a competition pool with diving tower, a large fun pool and a wide slide. All three areas have been combined by a bathing deck into a single unit. The outdoor pool is complemented by a beach volleyball court, a sun deck and an attractive children’s pool.

The main design idea was to make suitable areas available to the different user groups, with care being taken to prevent clashes between irreconcilable interests of different users. The entire outdoor swimming pool area has been redesigned for this purpose and the Val Blu terrain rising to the northeast has been put to optimal use in the new approach.
