Temporal layering Blue Rock Swim Club in Canada
Normal method changes a long -ended grounded place under a popular local restaurant In Canada In the Blue Rock Swim Club, once the ideological history has been set within the scene of the forgotten underground bathing, left for a long time and gradually reconstructed. More than a spatial RenewalThe challenge of creation was in creating a compelling historical story within a context-and a city-which prefer new-building making on historical protection.
To add a sense of cosmic layering, the studio selected the material for its touch honesty and inherent durability. The board-aid concrete anchors the space with cruelist restraint, while the wire-brash, the chartered wood introduces the rich fetina of age. Along with a wall, a custom wall in a soft, experienced tone is sanded back – its faded surface of both art and artifacts is thoughtful.

Team Gave brief information by maping the spatial argument of traditional bathrooms in the way of general. With no existing entrance from the road, the Blue Rock Swim Club was carved through a neighboring service corridor. Repetition as an immersive passage, this marginal location is clad in wax stainless steel and monochrome finish, guides the visitors downwards in a cool, contemplative lineage – as is still slipping under the surface of the water.
The entry begins in a moody ‘locker room’, which is now working as a subductor. From there, the guests are led through the ‘remnant of the chengroom’, which is re -interpreted as individual washroom stalls before reaching the heart of space – ‘basin’. This sculpture dining area is embedded within the original foundation of the building, its sun flooring and tier platforms, which develops the geometry of communal pools and long -lasting rituals erosion.

Signs of modernity of LA and Brazil give their warmth to this project. Hand-cut zelega provides an organic imbalance to the shell of concrete to tiles and sculpted terazo surfaces. Bespoke lighting, designs and fabricated in in-house, the charge detect vertical elements in wood and is shown above, suggesting a microscopic choreography of light and reflection. The furnishing strategic is yet to be different, and the custom leather feast resonates through the space, with vintage pieces and one-clot designs. Barstools, home engineer, nest within the footrel, creating a clean, constant edge.
This meditation on the expansion added to the art direction and purchase by the studio gives the space a surefire sense of narrative harmony to the space. The result is a rich layered site that feels both cinematic and inherent in its imaginary past, yet in the city’s developed cultural and culinary scenario.
