In order to protect the building, It is situatedand built up around the highest contour of thesite (+76m above sea level) with a gabionretaining wall, which is just above the 100 yearflood line of Lake Ontario (75.7m).TORONTO ISLANDS MAP16NREINFORCED CONCRETEPAVERS ON GRAVEL BEDREINFORCED CONCRETE STEPSLIMESTONE-FILLEDGABION BASKET ANTI-EROSION RETAINING WALLW/ PLANTER100 YR FLOODLEVELLEVEL 1+2.00mGRADE+1.00m
Under Water is a project proposing a new low-energy, naturalfiltration swimming pool complex on the Toronto Islands. Situatedon the shoreline directly across from the city skyline, the buildingtakes advantage of this pristine view by having all of its poolslocated on the roof, while underneath, selective use of glass floorsand walls in the pool tanks reveals swimmers to the programsbelow and allow underwater sunlight to passively light the interior.Sustainability principles were a key driver of the building’s design,as it heavily incoroporates passive lighting, cooling and heating withcross ventilation, solar gain and thermal mass and an east-westlinear form which maximizes solar exposure. The exterior envelopeis a consistent R-33 insulated concrete structural assembly withlimestone filled gabion wall cladding that grow vines in the summermonths, turning the exterior surfaces into a natural green wall.Water from the pools is filtered by a closed loop natural systemincorporating hydrobotanic ponds and pathogen-eating plants.Original Site Condition; Olympic IslandContour line is reinforced w/ gabion wallsand concrete to create a podium for floodprotection, which is built to jut out into thelake and provide full panoramic views of theToronto Skyline across the harbour1 2 3Building mass extrudes from podium;two volumes w/ a promenade around allperimeter walls4Existing path through site is rerouted alongan arc tangential to the centreline of bothbridges connecting Olympic Island to therest of Toronto IslandsNew paths directly to the cafe, event spaceand main foyer entrances as well as theartificial beach are paved from tangentsalong the main path’s curve5 6Most existing vegetation is kept intact whiletrees removed during construction arereplanted densely along the tangential pathsto create a lush natural experience whileapproaching the building.17
