connection to an existing outside pool. As part
of this fundamental renovation, the architects
designed for one area of this new pool a cave
made of LUCEM light concrete, spanning in
the form of a stylized salt crystal about 7 x 5
meters. For the cladding of this monument
approx. 200 m² light transmitting concrete
were used. Within the double wall construction
on a steel frame there is a programmable LED
lighting technology, that can be adjusted to
different coloured mood lighting
Krieger Architects Engineers with over 50
years of experience in pool construction have
realized this project as an absolute novelty - a
world first time salt water application for light
transmitting concrete. The salt concentration
in this pool is one of the highest levels in
brine water from local wells. The pool has a
salt content of 3.5%, which is comparable to
seawater. Accordingly, the steel frame inside
the LUCEM installation had to be designed as a
structure resistant to seawater.
