Watson Batty Architects developed a Concept Design, RIBA Stages 1 to 3, for a new leisure centre in Ivybridge, South Ham, Devon.
The proposals looked at the replacement of the existing leisure centre with new, modern facilities including a 25m main pool, 6 x 12.5m learner pool, health suite including sauna, steam room and a spa pool, fitness suite, flexible use studios and a 4-court sports hall.
Due to the sensitivity of the site location and its proximity to the town centre and council offices, the façade and landscape design were carefully designed to ensure the new building corresponds with its setting.
