Indoor Pool: Temperature Control, Dehumidification, and Reflections

An indoor swimming pool located within a residence, 20 meters long, with the water surface almost flush with the surrounding stone flooring, featuring only a narrow overflow channel. The pool bottom is dark glass mosaic, causing the water surface to reflect almost like a mirror, perfectly mirroring the ceiling and column array above. One side of the space features full-height glass doors leading to a courtyard. The ceiling is arched, made of moisture-resistant wooden grilles, behind which a high-power dehumidification and ventilation system is concealed—this is the biggest engineering challenge for an indoor pool. All lighting is underwater and at low levels around the perimeter. Avoid: significant height differences and railings around the pool, light-colored tiles for the pool bottom, regular decorative ceiling materials, ripples on the water surface that diminish reflection.

一座位於住宅內的室內泳池,長 20 公尺,水面幾乎與周邊的石材地坪齊平,只有一道細的溢流溝。池底是深色的玻璃馬賽克,因此水面呈現接近鏡面的反射,把上方的天花與柱列完整映出來。空間的一側是通高的落地玻璃通往庭院。天花是拱形的,材料是防潮的木格柵,後方藏著大功率的除濕與換氣系統——這是室內泳池最大的工程挑戰。照明全部在水下與周邊的低位。避免:池畔有明顯的高差與欄杆、池底使用淺色磁磚、天花使用一般裝修材、水面有波紋失去反射。
