urban swimming pool in lisbon's river tagus doubles as amphitheater and solarium

X Atelier and Atelier BAUM have collaborated to create the Loop Pool Tejo, an innovative urban swimming pool on the River Tagus, addressing the need for immediate bathing options in Lisbon's city center.

The Loop Pool Tejo not only offers a self-filtering pool but also serves as an amphitheater and solarium while providing direct access to the river, enhancing recreational opportunities.

Reviving the River Tagus as a bathing area, the project transforms the Braço de Prata pontoon into a multifunctional platform, reconnecting Lisbon's residents with their waterfront.

With a design that channels the fluidity of water within a concrete structure, the Loop Pool is intended to enrich public space and foster community engagement with aquatic activities.
