Timber is suitable for use in swimming pool halls because of its appearance, resistance to corrosion and tolerance of the moist environment.
Minimise the risk of condensation by providing adequate ventilation and restricting vapour transmission into the construction.
The heating and ventilation system should maintain relative humidity in the range 45% to 65% to maintain timber in a good condition.

Minimise the risk of gross wetting by keeping wood above wet surfaces, detailing wood so that it sheds water and, in some cases, with waterproof finishes.

Case studies
This project was inspired by the spirit of the Californian Case Study houses and the simplicity of Japanese domestic architecture.
Hopkins Architects has been involved in the design of new facilities at Norwich Cathedral for 14 years; the first phase of development, the Refectory (the subject of a TRADA Case Study in 2007) forms one side of the Cloisters and the second phase, the
now-completed Hostry, runs at right angles to it.
