The master plan responds to the long-term project goals while accounting for the city’s requirements and allotted budget. The completed first phase added two swimming pools and a simple bathhouse. 

The pools are sited between the new bathhouse and a row of preserved valley oak trees, creating a coherent sense of place. The bathhouse serves as the visual and programmatic gateway to the pool. It’s designed as a covered, open-air pavilion with a butterfly roof to optimize natural ventilation on hot summer days. This passive design strategy substantially reduced construction costs and will save on long-term operational costs by almost entirely eliminating the need for a mechanical system. The second phase will further reduce expenses through the addition of rooftop solar thermal panels and an underground geothermal system to heat both pools.
