Mens Sana in Corpore Sana


This spa was designed to serve wounded and traumatized veterans possibly being seriously disabled from their service. It consists of a large, heated, aerated pool with individual adjustable hot tub spaces lining the outer perimiter. Zero entry ramps provide 100 percent accessibility throughout.

Plan View: The red arrows represent zero entrance ramps into the pool.

The entire pool is aerated from the floor. Bubbles come from below in the same fashion a fish tank aerator works. These bubbles taper off in density as one moves closer to the ramped surfaces.

Walls and planters are constructed of stratified fieldstone in Sand, Dark Brown, and Grey.
Outdoor patio tiling is White sandstone 24"x 24" set on a 45 degree angle
Pool surfaces are poured cement with applied dark blue chlorinated rubber paint with aggregate added.
Pavilion Flooring is composite cedar over a poured cement pad.
Pavilion Roofing is Ceramic tile, Brown.
