Prince Alfred Park + Pool
The existing 50m pool is retained and upgraded, with new facilities housed within a cranked linear building. The landscape of the park is folded up and over the building as a green roof, completely concealing it from the street. Grass mounds define the pool enclosure and further integrate the facility within the park, in keeping with the principle of prioritising park over built form. We established the conceptual framework for the park works that will contemporise it without erasing its Victorian roots. These have been further developed with Sue Barnsley Design and the project is now ready for Tender.
