Glassy artwork
To top design of the swimming pool fit no ordinary swimming pool. The solution: a glass pool.
Such an extraordinary residence had not seen Michael Löffler. Directly on the Baltic Sea beach located to the client not only offers a magnificent view of the water of the Baltic Sea. Especially in the interior of the property know to impress: White is the dominant color, stainless steel and glass are the determining materials.
Mirrors make the rooms appear transparent, but also create interesting reflections and double images. Viewer does not know in the first few minutes, where to look first. To complement this unique property the builder now planned to erect on the plot a solitary standing swimming pool, which should be provided in the same extravagant style.

For the planning and realization he had consulted Michael Löffler from bsw Pool Contractors Newborn from Bargteheide. The buildings, which also house a neighbor heard, are interconnected. According to the specifications of the client, the swimming pool should have the same transparent character get as the house and impress with an extraordinary design.
The water of the swimming pool today forms a line with the pier of the Baltic Sea. What was realized here for a swimming pool by Michael Löffler and the architect Joern Jahnke, is bestaunenswert. According to the specifications of the client, the hall is decorated in white and equipped with lots of glass.
The ingenious roof structure is covered with high-gloss aluminum fins. Soil depth glass sliding elements open onto a button and give a clear view of the Baltic Sea. A transparent architecture, as they no longer have need of improvement. Inside, glass and metal are the key materials.

Also striking is the large number of Buddhas in the room. The collection is a hobby of the owner who has a good number of them. The best address for Buddhas and other Asian art, he reveals in an interview, the Mikado Asiatica in Hamburg who specializes among other things in the import of the Buddha.
As for the pool itself, everyone involved was immediately agree: a conventional pool, for example, made of concrete and tile covering, would not fit in this space. And many other pelvic structures, either.
Michael Löffler therefore made another suggestion: PVC pool with a two sided glass top would be most likely the design requirements of the client's demands. Such pools had shown on the last aquanale in Cologne PVC Beck manufacturer KWS.
The pool stands out due to its transparent appearance. Thanks to the glass, the water is not hidden behind walls, but visibly present in its full beauty and with all the light and color play in space.
Elegant water runs over the edge of the glass in a low-slung groove and LED headlights wrap it in a sea of color that fills the entire room. This swimming pool inspired the client, and the order was issued.
The 9 mx 4.50 m wide PVC pool is made in good KWS-quality and has a two-sided glass tower that rises 45 cm above floor level. The water runs over the edge of the glass into the underlying Spillway, which is covered with stones.
"It has long been discussed," says Michael Löffler, "whether is taken for the discs real glass or plexiglass." The owner finally decided to plexiglass, because the connections between the plates could be carried out without visible composite seamlessly.
Even otherwise, the swimming pool is of a high quality set. These include: Underground roller shutter cover, counter-current and massage system, neck shower, five-color LED lights and two underwater speakers.
The sopra-pool technology, which is installed in the basement of the house, would redound each hotel pool honor. The system works automatically, so the client has to spend hardly any time for water maintenance and operation. A spiral staircase leads to the basement. Next to the swimming pool, the complex has a respectable wellness facilities.
While the sauna is placed in the pool hall itself, a steam room, was placed in the walkway between the house and the swimming pool, which can be used as a hammam.
Very complex and the Herget-ventilation technology is designed. To keep the many glass windows and the roof fog, a high-quality comfort ventilation systems with heat recovery was installed so that prevail even in strong sunlight pleasant climate conditions in the pool hall.
Thanks to the control technique, the client can check and correct at all times all the features in the swimming pool and the pool. A perfect bath retreat that knows how to convince not only by the unusual design.
