The bathing establishment is a pavilion inside the Park of Segrino Lake on the flat area of the beach on the southern part of the area.
Thougth to make sport activities and leausures connected to the presence of the lake powerfull, the new building establishes a dialogue with the surrounding nature and searches for a longer profile that tryes to insert between the provincial road and the borders of the lake with a front that develops for 90 metres under the road along the existing cycle lane.
The pavilion is closed to the road and the cycle lane by a wall that artificially re-draws, though the using of a cement additived with oxide, the consistency and the lying position of the stone emerging on the other side of the road and exteds itself on a unique level of 3,00 metres of high inserted on the ground with a lower covering respect to the viewing line of who is on the cycle lane to allow the view of the lake.
The entrance, indicated by a vertical "little tower" , is directly joined to the pedestrian/cycle lane by two pedestrian ramps that go down on the level of the border. Walked past the entrance to the beach the pavilion is clearly visible, poised on the ground as a "pile-work", carachterized by a linear structure, made by piles, beams and wooden bands and joined to the lake through footway in wood.
The whole constuction, excluding the wall to the road and foundations, has been studied and realized with a wooden structure produced in establisment and assembled dry while setting up.
Drawn on a squared area of 5,00x5,00 metres it has a planimetrical establishment at "L" wich characterized two right-angled used respectively as changing rooms and refreshing point and surrounded by arcades.
On the lobby of the entrance, opened to the lake on the arcade between two closed volumes, there is the ticket office. The part along the road contains the changing rooms, a turkish bath, the nursery and a stocking room while the other part that views directly to the lake contains the bar and restrooms, staff rooms, thermal central and at the first floor a little managing office.The intervention is completed by inserting of wooden quays that, detached from arcades, join together lake and pavilion and bound, following a cartesian order, the swimming area opened to the lake to the sheltered area of the internal basin used for docking of rowing boats.
