# 100-Meter Outdoor Pool Designs Kinzo Architekten Reimagines Berlin's Tilla-Durieux-Park By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-08-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/100meter-outdoor-pool References: [pragmatika.media](https://pragmatika.media/en/news/arkhitektory-proponuiut-oblashtuvaty-100-metrovyj-vidkrytyj-basejn-u-parku-v-tsentri-berlina/) Kinzo Architekten, the practice previously responsible for the placemaking concept at the Center am Potsdamer Platz, has proposed a comprehensive reimagining of Berlin's Tilla-Durieux-Park and a substantial 100-meter outdoor pool. The studio's goal is to transform the site's underutilized 485-meter sloping lawn into a year-round public sports and recreation destination. This will be anchored by a substantial 100-meter outdoor pool surrounded by timber sun decks, changing rooms, and a kiosk. A notable innovation is the seasonal adaptability of the pool, which in winter would be covered by a translucent membrane mounted on timber arches. Kinzo Architekten's proposal, titled the Sports Spine, incorporates a variety of athletic facilities including padel courts, basketball and beach volleyball areas, callisthenics stations, and a water playground, alongside a tree grove featuring a long communal table designed to encourage lingering and social interaction throughout the day.
