| Description: |
Counsilman-Hunsaker, in association with Hastings & Chivetta Architects, designed a new, resort-like aquatics center for the City of Des Peres. To effectively utilize the indoor space, Counsilman-Hunsaker seamlessly blended fitness and leisure programming areas. Components of the aquatics facility include:
• Whirlpool spa
• Wave pool with zero-depth entry
• Six-lane, 25-yard lap pool
• Indoor/outdoor tube slide, equipped with fiber- optic lighting and a shallow skim-out landing area
• Toddler pool with interactive play features
The outdoor facility houses two bodies of water: upper and lower pools. Features of the lower pool include:
• Zero-depth entry
• Small family slide
• Plenty of open play space
The upper pool features:
• Cool-water whirlpool
• Lazy river
• Raindrop umbrella
• Spray garden with numerous water activities
• Two flume slides, designed with different lengths and speeds. Each slide emerges from a 25-foot tower and ends in a splash-down pool; the first is a 220-foot open-flume corkscrew slide and the second is a 75-foot closed-flume speed slide
“Working with CH allowed us to expand our vision of what an aquatics facility should be. In addition to creative concepts in swimming pool design, our needs were listened to and a design developed that allowed for a multi-faceted approach to providing aquatics to our community”
