• About Firm
  Enota was founded in 1998 with the ambition to create contemporary and critical architectural practice of an open type based on collective approach to development of architectural and urban solutions. Over the years Enota has been constantly developing and from its beginnings it has served as a creative platform for more than seventy architects. Enota is led by founding partners and principal architects Dean Lah and Milan Tomac.

The construction of the new pool complex Češča vas is envisaged in a space dominated by the existing, recently renovated velodrome. The new pool facility thus takes advantage of the topographic properties of the inclined terrain. It is sited as low as possible and does not constitute a new dominant in the space.
The building's subdued appearance in the space is achieved by the low floating roof, under which the surrounding landscape is allowed to flow across the pool. The materiality of pool complex is very simple and restrained, the only accent element is the ceiling in an intense warm color.
