99 Laps is a long-span indoor community pool addition to the Westchester Recreation Park. It is located along Lincoln Blvd, a major thoroughfare, in close proximity to the LAX airport. The new project consolidates various relationships to the context in spite of boundary conditions that vary greatly in nature.
Using Norman Foster’s Sainsbury Center for Visual Arts as the precedent, the idea of all program being housed under a single memorable space was central to the project, and the space truss was used to achieve this. Skylight placement is based on program, lighting up major double-height spaces such as the entrance hall, training and leisure pools. The solarium is a more private outdoor space nestled within the building, while the public plaza becomes a highly active zone connecting the new building to the rest of the Westchester Recreation Park.
