Sohanak pool

Located in northeastern Tehran within a private garden, the Sohank Pool and annex building sit atop a small hill, offering expansive views of the city and surrounding vegetation. The project reutilized an existing irrigation pool, expanding it and adding a pavilion-like annex with a sauna, Jacuzzi, service areas, and a large terrace serving as a diving platform and sunbathing space.
The building references a traditional Iranian kooshk, with a central void restoring visual, light, and pedestrian flow between the divided garden areas. Elevated and cantilevered, the annex appears suspended over the pool, with reflections and flowing water integrating nature into the architecture. Circulation paths connect interior and exterior spaces, making human movement an intrinsic part of the experience, alternating between dynamic activity when occupied and tranquil contemplation when empty.
