A large roof above the water area is divided into sets of smaller segments to prevent its scale from overwhelming the surroundings. Viewed from a distance, the shape, colour, and scale of the new clustered structures of tetrahedral volumes is a continuation of the cluster of the surrounding rural buildings, which visually extends into the heart of the complex. The seemingly complex geometry gives the new roof static strength, allowing the entire pool space to be covered virtually without supports. In this way, the new roof floats above the pool platform, which is designed as an exterior space.
