The mobile indoor swimming pool convinced the jury of the International Building Exhibition 2027 StadtRegion Stuttgart (IBA'27) with its pioneering concept: modular, temporary and completely removable - and was therefore included in the IBA'27 network. For POOL out of the BOX GmbH as the general contractor and the planning partners involved - including 4a Architekten as specialists in swimming pool construction - this is an important milestone on the way to sustainable, flexible solutions in public swimming pool construction.

The project particularly fulfills the guiding principle of the IBA'27, “to make the unusual and new possible and visible”: an indoor swimming pool in modular timber construction is unique to date. The use of wood as the main construction material significantly reduces the CO₂ footprint of the building. The high degree of prefabrication of the modules also allows for an exceptionally short construction time - from planning to commissioning. The flexibility of the building is particularly remarkable: The mobile swimming pool can be assembled and dismantled several times and can be used wherever there is a current need. A total of three locations are planned for use in Stuttgart - the first in Zuffenhausen, followed by Möhringen and finally Untertürkheim.
