这是由Townsend + Associates Architects设计的中华人民共和国大使馆泳池外罩加建。这个高度现代化的玻璃建筑重新振兴了传统的大使馆。该建筑位于中国大使馆内，围合起25 x 10米的现状游泳池。建筑师提供了一个充满反射与美丽的场所，该建筑让使用者沐浴在光线与水之中。该建筑以看似简单来掩盖其技术的复杂性。新建筑坐落于严格限制的场地内，以现代植入的方式与场地的传统主题建筑相融合。然而又通过微妙的色彩和形式，让建筑与毗邻的传统建筑风格相区别。建筑师想保持原先室外泳池的明亮感，因此他们使用了一种高度绝缘的隔热玻璃，外部的光线可以进入室内，同时隔绝了夏天刺目的阳光。

From the architect. A highly expressive modern glass pavilion to reinvigorate a traditional embassy compound In designing this new building within the Chinese Embassy compound to enclose an existing 25 x 10m in‑ground swimming pool, Townsend + Associates Architects have provided a place of reflection and beauty; a building that allows its users to bathe in light as well as water.

“It’s all about the light and creating an energy efficient example of a building type that is notoriously energy hungry. To have an indoor swimming pool for Embassy families to bathe in light as they count out the laps or just splash about.” (Bruce Townsend, Architect)，The building’s apparent simplicity belies its technical complexity. Housed within a tightly constrained site, the new building is unmistakably a modern insertion into the traditionally themed architecture of the site. Yet, through subtle reflection of colour and forms, the building acknowledges the traditional expressions of its neighbours.

The entire building envelope is highly insulated, double glazed and fully thermally broken. The double skinned Uform glazing incorporates a LowE coating to further improve thermal performance. A new state-of-the-art ozone water treatment system requires very low chemical input for extremely high water quality and reduces the corrosive chlorine environment normally associated with indoor pools.It is a glass pavilion that glows with light all year around flooded with sun in winter and deliciously shaded in summer. Despite its refined appearance the building is highly functional and decorative through its expressed steel structure and simple palette of materials: glass, steel and timber.
