The new building defines the boundary between natural and built environments, acting as a filter and mediator between the two realms. It forms both the new entrance façade of the indoor and outdoor pool and the northern back of the Oberdorf outdoor pool.
The different areas of use are structured as adjoining spatial segments, extending across the entire depth of the longitudinal building.

The new building can be read as a contemporary interpretation of a bathhouse that gives the indoor pool a distinct identity while also belonging to the outdoor pool and the surrounding natural landscape.
