'bellahøj'

'bellahøj' project by COBE architects is built on the ambition to create a more community friendly
atmosphere by reinvigorating the park space in the city of bellahøj, denmark.
the public swimming facilities have been arranged in one compact space, this allows
spectators to conveniently oversee swimming activities while also creating a more sustainable
use of energy within the park. a 50 m pool for more advanced swimmers is positioned
at the higher, northern side of the hall. meanwhile leisure pools are located at the lower
southern side, directly connecting to the park.

the pool halls have been designed directly into the sloping terrains. light is let into the halls
via a series of openings covered with plastic air-filled 'cushions'. access paths span from
one side of the park to the other, thus, creating connections between the interior and exterior pools.

the sand from excavations will be reused to create a sunbather hill that will give an overview
of the park and the city.
