WATER PARK IN THE CITY OF N

CONCEPT | 2018

KRASNODAR, RUSSIA

The site is located on the outskirts of Krasnodar and borders the city highway. To protect itself from the external environment and create a place comfortable for visitors, the building is designed "from the inside" to "inside", where the dynamic minimalistic facade hides the contents of a year-round water park, baths, gallery, food court, hotel rooms and the heart of the building - the courtyard.

Parking of the building is solved at the level of the daytime surface, without the need to dig into the ground and is intended for both passenger cars and buses.
The main idea of the project is an ECO-concept of family, year-round recreation. The project provides for the formation of a courtyard with an outdoor swimming pool, which is used in winter as an ice rink. An important element of which is landscaping: in addition to creeping plant species on the facades, the courtyard is decorated with several massive pine trees, infrastructure elements for recreation, as well as water activities.
The facades of the administrative part and the food court are illuminated by wall-mounted domed windows. The space above the water park is blocked by a unique wooden structure, the shaping of which is inspired by the Bernoulli curve, which is often found in nature and is the most rational for the distribution of air flows. The wooden structure is covered with an ETFE membrane on top.
