Following a successful competition win and a construction period of just under a year, the new building for the Nauen municipal swimming pool has been completed.

A leisure and meeting place has been created on the site to the south-east of the historic town centre, enriching the small town to the west of Berlin with a new café, a wellness centre and neighbourhood management for the district.

The organic shape of the two single-storey buildings and the colour palette of the façades harmonise with the natural landscaping. The striking, curved parapet runs around the two volumes, connecting them at the same time and thus creating a gateway situation at the entrance to the municipal baths. Wooden frames form the supporting structure and at the same time the façade of the building. It consists of prefabricated polygonal timber frames with double glazing and insulated timber panels in closed façade areas.
