Net-Zero Office Concealed Therapeutic Pool | Wallover Architects Aquatic Design

Designed for Accessibility & Comfort

As part of the renovation, the facility now features:

• ADA-Compliant Access Upgrades
  Including a vertical platform chair lift to provide access from the facility to the pool deck, as well as a swim lift to ensure safe water entry for patrons with mobility limitations.

• Dehumidification System
  An independent, state-of-the-art pool dehumidification system improves indoor air quality and enhances comfort for swimmers and spectators.

• New Filtration System
  The outdated filtration system was replaced with a modern, high-efficiency system, delivering crystal-clear water and operational reliability.

Key Features of the Concealed Therapeutic Pool Project

• “Vario-Pool” Movable Floor System
  Manufactured in the Netherlands, this buoyant movable floor system is engineered with stainless-steel cables, pulleys, and hydraulic rams—allowing the pool to vanish into the atrium floor when not in use.

• Disappearing Pool Concept
  The oval-shaped pool is precisely tiled using large- and small-format porcelain ceramic tiles, blending seamlessly into the atrium floor within a 3/16” tolerance—an architectural and construction feat.

• Custom Concrete Pool Shell
  Constructed with pneumatically placed reinforced concrete to ensure long-term structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

• Exclusive Access for Staff
  This non-public facility is accessible only to approved staff, supporting wellness programming, stress relief, and workplace rejuvenation.

• Eco-Conscious Design & Water Systems
  Designed with the building’s net-zero mission in mind:

  • VFD-controlled pumps to reduce operating pressure and power usage

  • Pressure regenerative filtration for water conservation

  • Primary and secondary sanitation systems

  • Sphagnum moss water treatment introduced via the pool’s surge tank for a natural, low-impact disinfection approach
