Water bodies to get the body moving
Community Aquatic and Recreation Centres
More than indoor and outdoor pools
Specialised design
Aquatic projects require a specialised and highly technical design response to counter the corrosive nature of chlorinated air and water. Materiality and construction detailing is an area we know well, and will ensure operability is thoroughly considered alongside lifecycle and maintenance cost.
Similarly, we incorporate inputs from leaders in the field of acoustic design within our aquatic projects, ensuring noisy communal areas and quiet spaces remain acoustically separated.
Financial viability
We know how to design aquatic and recreation facilities that are commercially sustainable. Utilising our understanding of the project’s user groups from our extensive engagement process, we are adept at combining revenue generating businesses (such as gyms or function spaces) with health and lifestyle activities that foster participation and social gathering.
Users enjoy access to a wide range of co-located amenities and benefits, and frequency and engagement is increased.
Recreation or recovery
People visit public pools for a variety of reasons, to cool off in summer with the kids, enjoy an active lifestyle, recover from injury or maintain health.
Carabiner have extensive experience in designing aquatic facilities that are intuitive and accessible for all users.
We consult with a variety of stakeholders to ensure pools and saunas support physio-therapy and wellbeing.
Environmental sustainability is a key consideration for local governments during the design process, we can provide guidance on a variety of sustainable initiatives which offset operational overheads, such as solar or geothermal power alternatives.
