Oostduinkerke Swimming Pool Building

Location: Ostduinkerke City, Belguim
Company: Dierendonckblanckearchitecten and L.U.S.T.architecten
Design team: Alexander Dierendonck – Isabelle Blancke – Hans Lust – Lieve Vandeginste


The site for this new swimming pool is situated on the beach of Oostduinkerke, a small Belgian coast town. The design aimed to create a cross over between the beach and the city centre.

The building looks act as an artificial dune, with soft slopes, inviting people to walk and sit down, admiring the view. The swimming pool is conceptualised as an oblique surface, forming a bridge between the dike and the beach. The position of the surface protects the pool from sand and wind. A third incision accessible from the dike creates a platform.
