一个新的游泳池建筑群旨在丰富当地社区，提供一种方便出入的公共设施，补充现有的公共设施，并有助于增强坚尼地城的特色；目前，肯尼迪城的定义是以社区中心处的历史电车线为界定的。设计简介是一个标志性的结构，包括室内和室外游泳池、按摩浴缸、更换设施以及相关的管理和厂房。一些主要的设计考虑因素包括建筑物的透明度、对现有景观走廊的反应、对相邻住宅塔的敏感性、与维多利亚港的关系以及环境上可持续的设计解决方案。

A new swimming pool complex designed to enrich the local community by providing a public facility that is easily accessible, complementary to existing public amenities and will contribute to the character of Kennedy Town; which is currently defined by the historic tram line that terminates in the heart of the community. The design brief was for an iconic structure, housing both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Jacuzzis, changing facilities and associated management and plant rooms. Some of the key design considerations include the building’s transparency, response to existing view corridors, sensitivity to adjacent residential towers, the relationship to Victoria Harbour and an environmentally sustainable design solution.
