Commercial Swimming Pools for Hotels - Vault Pools
case study: vault pools: a unique Lifetime
solution for space-limited sites
Hotel Valencia on Santana Row, San Jose
Usually, water on the roof is a problem for commercial properties--unless
that's the only place available to put a swimming pool. In that case,
it can become a challenging engineering issue. But it's one Lifetime Pools
has helped solve many times. We developed a way for contractors to create
a vault suspended on a podium deck above a garage, or other building structure.
In this example, the vault is suspended above the courtyard — on
the fifth floor of the Hotel Valencia on Santana Row in San Jose. The
pool is built within this vault, with access from the upper floors built
next to it.
This unique solution enabled the hotel to solve a difficult problem —
how to offer their guests an inviting pool, while still enabling them
to maintain their open, airy courtyard — all in a very limited space!
