Outdoor Pool Lachen, Thun

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The heart of the entire Lachen sports complex in Thun is the lido with a view of the Alps. Both the pool facilities and the main wing, a listed building dating from 1932/33, have been completely renovated.

The task was also to question and define the edges and transitions to the rest of the campus and the lakeside.

A new winter use (during the day) is the integrated riverside path and the possibility of temporary gastronomic use.

The cloakrooms in the main wing (listed building) were rebuilt and installed, the technical wing was extended and all pool facilities (50m, 25m, non-swimmers) were enlarged and renovated. In addition, the pool water systems were renovated or replaced and a photovoltaic system was installed.

After the refurbishment, the lido will technically comply with the latest regulations regarding pool water systems and energy efficiency. The extensions and additions to the pool facilities create additional water areas for free use and for schools and clubs during the summer months.
