DRÖM FITS SAUNA AND STEAM ROOMS TO TWO EXCLUSIVE LONDON PROPERTIES
Volume and light were the key themes in the St John’s Wood property
Steam room uses a striking mix of black glass mosaic benches with large format marble slab tiles
for the benches, ceiling and floor, with pebble marble mosaic for the walls. The LED lighting is also in white to continue the theme, and the steam is generated by a Tylö generator with digital control panel. The exterior is finished with luxury frameless glass doors for a feeling of light and space.
Dröm UK has completed sauna and steam room projects in two exclusive properties in North London, working in close collaboration with Regal Homes and renowned interior designer Kelly Hoppen.
The first property, located in prestigious St John’s Wood, is a
double fronted period style villa, with an extraordinary sense of volume and light. On the garden level the house features an amazing leisure complex with pool, gymnasium and treatment room. Adjacent is the stunning all- white steam room designed and installed by Dröm UK, using Corian
The second project was tucked in a secluded close off the Winnington Road area of Hampstead Garden suburb. An indoor pool complex is also host to a gymnasium and modern style sauna; this time using heat treated dark ash cladding as a contrast to the luxury blonde Aspen benches. Using a Tylö 15 kilowatt sauna heater, the room has two benches and a raised ceiling for an airy feel.
The steam room next door was given a striking mix of black glass mosaic benches with large format marble slab tiles for the walls and
floor while, unusually, the ceiling is also black glass mosaic to match the benches.
The 24 kilowatt steam generator is by Tylö and has a digital control panel. The rooms incorporate integrated speakers linked to the property’s audio system and feature luxury frameless glass doors. Paul Eden, Chief Executive of Regal Homes said: “We met Dröm UK at a trade show in Frankfurt. We were already aware of the company and its involvement with such prestigious projects as One Hyde Park, so decided to ask them to quote for our upcoming developments. Their prompt response, attention to detail and attitude exceeded that of their competitors.”

120 SWIMMING TEACHERS TO GET TRAINING SUPPORT
Coca-Cola Great Britain is supporting the training of more than 120 new swimming teachers and coaches as part of its commitment to get people active on the road to 2012.
The announcement follows on from the success of the company’s ‘Schweppes Abbey Well’ ‘Schwim Free’ campaign. The scheme enables consumers to enjoy a free swim by exchanging promotional ‘Schweppes Abbey Well’ bottle tops at participating pools in England, Scotland and Wales. In the first year, more than 47,000 swims were redeemed.
When the scheme was launched in March 2009, Coca-Cola committed to
make a donation to projects to get Britain swimming, and has now donated £50,000 to The Swimming Trust. The money will be used for a Teacher Coach Education Grant Fund offering training opportunities for volunteers within swimming, diving, synchronised swimming and water polo clubs across the UK. “We’re delighted to donate this money to help even more people get active on the road to 2012,” said Jon Woods, Coca-Cola UK and Ireland. “Almost 50,000 took part in the first year of the scheme and we hope this year will be even bigger and better, with 440 pools signed up, including 90 across London.”
FIRST LOOK AT TROPICANA SWIMMING COMPLEX
The public have had their first glimpse of how Weston-super-Mare’s new £19m Tropicana could look.
One of three designs that will be examined by the public over the next few weeks, the multi- million pound plans put forward by local businessman Richard Nightingale, would see the derelict seafront building, which closed in 2000, demolished to make way for a state of the art, three-storey circular building.
The scheme has been drawn up by renowned London-based architects Grimshaws, who were the brains behind the design of Cornwall’s Eden Project and Bath Spa.
As part of their plans, the entire Tropicana
would be demolished and replaced with a new, contemporary building which would be encased by glass and set on a huge wooden deck. The roof – similar to that at the Eden Project – would be made out of a special plastic which would still allow people to sunbathe below. The central part of the building would be home to an activity water park which would have three different interlocking pools.
There would be a fun pool with flumes, a wave rider and lazy river which people could ride on in dinghies and a 25 metre lap pool.
An outdoor pool would also be created on the exterior deck.
Architects are also considering harnessing the
The Tropicana has not been used for 10 years but it’s future is looking bright
power of the Severn Estuary to generate power for the attraction.
