Swimming Pool, St John’s Wood, London.

The Project

Designed by Timothy Hatton an extensive refurbishment of this wonderful property in North London included a swimming pool and gymnasium, both requiring significant noise insulation within a sunken garden. The swimming pools minimalistic design and its feature lighting to the perimeter set a level of modernity not to be compromised by the noise reverberation. The pool area would also encompass an exceptional sound system to be engineered within the acoustic reverberation solution, exacerbating the potential echoic swimming pool area.

The Solution

The Architect Timothy Hatton together with main contractors Holloway White Allom consulted with Pacy and Wheatley Acoustics to design in to the project their Ambient Acoustic Plaster System for its absorption qualities to reduce reverberation to the swimming pool area. The integration of air conditioning grills, concealed LED light fittings and cloaked sound system into the monolithic appearance presented further challenges. Our ambient acoustic plaster which is acrylic based achieved every design and acoustical challenge. The project was delivered on time and to budget.
