Upstate NY Pool House

The natatorium was designed and built with dedication to green design and maintenance. The base of this consists of a geothermal hydronic system and a reclaiming hydronic dehumidifying system that both heats and cools the space and the pool itself. Other details help maintain a small footprint: the openings and roof are specifically oriented to utilize the seasonal angles of the sun and take advantage of or minimize light and heat; airflow is maximized through strategic cross ventilation; and the super-insulated walls and roof ensure optimal temperature retention.
