BHS Competition Pool and Athletic Changing Rooms

The most arresting feature of this native landscape is the distant mountains in a large open valley.  The Changing Rooms Approach and Entry are set up to bring attention to the magnificence of TopaTopa, a particular mountain peak with the Men and Women’s Changing Rooms framing the open corridor to the pool and mountain beyond.  

Walls are designed to acquire a natural patina that richens with time:  poured in place concrete walls that form both the inside and outside surfaces of the changing and shower rooms.  The overreaching overhangs provide ample shade in this hot climate.  The plan circulation ensures that the changing rooms can be used by field activities as well as immediately accessible to the pool area.
