Leisure Swimming Pool House Design
Beta Scope
- Design the pool house to accommodate the swimming pool in the rear garden and has a semi organic layout.
Background
Beta Design Consultants were commissioned by the client to design a pool house to accommodate the swimming pool in the rear garden and has a semi organic layout.
Beta Solution
The pool house shape desired by the client inspired BDC to offer the client two options:Timber framed house in natural light colour finish to be exposed, following the pool layout in the roof to form the basis for pool house design and enhance the architectural design in general. In this option the structure frame becomes an architectural as well as a structural requirement. BDC worked with the client on this option to create an eco-friendly design without compromising the look and the style that achieves the client vision.The second option was a more affordable option based on the same concept but using galvanized steel. After approaching the market for prices for the first design, the client was very happy with the design, but it wasn’t within his budget. BDC worked on the steel structure design that respects the pool house layout design and gives the client a cost-effective option that although not as low on embodied carbon, was still a very efficient solution and within the project budget.
Practical Details
Scia Engineer was used for the modelling, analysis and design of the structure according to the EN 1993 British BS-EN NA. Our design made use of guidance in the Eurocode to consider the nominal stiffness of base plates and allow for 20% of the column stiffness when checking deflections. This allowed us to produce a very efficient structural design.
Having completed the design, Beta Structural Engineers produced General Arrangement Drawings – Plans and Elevations; as well as detailed drawings for the foundations and connections design.
