Large windows allow natural light to flood into the Baywave Tect Aquatic and Leisure Centre, creating its interior and exterior transparency.

The extensive aluminium joinery and flashings were measured on site, then custom made and supplied by Miller Design using Fletcher Aluminium systems. Special features include thermally broken windows from Miller that retain the heat of the pool during the winter.
