This project showcases a Natural Swimming Pool and a Kayak Resort in Syracuse. The design integrates with the surrounding environment, prioritizing the preservation of nature. The building program includes a café, cabanas, a lobby, a bar, offices, and kayak storage facilities. The key concept revolves around designing a dam in the Erie Canal for water filtration, creating a safe and serene swimming space. By incorporating organic filtration methods, such as peat moss, the project ensures water purity while preserving the site's historical significance. With its arresting presence, the pool becomes a focal point within the landscape, captivating visitors and offering a harmonious blend of recreational functionality and environmental stewardship.
