Moving Floor - Party Time in and out of the Pool

London

This imposing pool has been designed and built with a Hydrofloors Moveable Floor system, enabling the family to switch easily from swimming to entertaining up to 60 guests in a cool, comfortable environment.

The moving floor can be elevated to whatever water level desired, for example, from completely lowered at 2 metres for maximum swimming depth to raising it to a level that allows young children to paddle. And fully raised to deck level, the floor provides a robust, attractive floor for socialising.

Working with architect and main contractor, Janine Stone, LSPC created this 15.8m x 3.2m classic design with two magnificent Roman ends. The large format porcelain tiles were specially fabricated down to 20 x 20mm to achieve a perfect finish on the Roman ends. The steps are centred on the right side of the pool and cast into the pool wall to ensure that the moving floor glides smoothly over them.

Features include two Hugo Lahme massage stations which are recessed, as are the Wibre 3 x 3 watt LED lights, avoiding any protrusion from the wall structure. The pool walls are finished with 600 x 600mm elegant cream coloured porcelain tiles and the same large format porcelain tiles were used for the pool surround creating a light and seamless feel to the 75 square metre pool hall.

The air handling system, which controls the temperature in the pool hall, is linked to the moving floor allowing the heating to set back the temperature when the pool cover is fully raised, conserving energy. This pool also has a chilling mode which drops the air temperature to 20 degrees, creating a lovely cool ambience for guests.
