Centralbadet: a house for health and community

''The intention behind Centralbadet is to prioritize social and health benefits as well as sporting performance'' says Martin Stenberg Ringnér, design director at Henning Larsen. ''From calm corners to sunlit roofs, we wanted every visit to be accessible, connected and integrated into the rhythms of the city. '

The project is opened in 2031 as a landmark for public health and relaxation

Expand the forested park to the architecture

Henning Larsen's Centralbadet -suggestion honors Valhallabet, Gothenburg's historical swimming pool by forwarding traditions of public bathing and the health of the community. References to the cultural heritage of the city appear in the landscape and in the artistic details, including because of the cubist murals of the Swedish artist Nils Wedel of the 20th century.

The new Centralbadet in Katrinelund, which has long been associated with recreation and restoration, is planned to make the connections to the Mölndal River and in the nearby Burgård traces to strengthen and forested park, in which a well-known skate park is accommodated. Visitors can circulate throughout the building and the roof, in which running tracks, outdoor fitness studios, terraces and planted areas are organized that extend the experience of the parking country into architecture.

Henning Larsen's circular strategy

Centralbadet's design strategy compensates for durability with environmental output. Concrete offers structural stability for the pool basin, while long -tensioned glulam rays and other wooden elements reduce embodied carbon and cut off well under moist conditions. Wood is also used for interior partitions and ceilings, and elements are designed for disassembly and future reuse.

The facade contains recycled bricks that combine the project with its context and celebrates the sustainability of celebrations Circular building. Extensive green roofs support the biological diversity, manage rainwater and increase the resilience of the building over time. Together, these strategies set Centralbadet as a long -lasting bourgeois resource to develop with the city.
