Is this pool in the middle of the house? - Its fascinating how theres a room in the middle of the house for a pool! no need to wait until summer, you can swim any season! This is my all-time FAVORITE! »
Sutton Suzuki Architects Hi there,
Yes the house is built around this reflecting pool. Not deep enough to be called a swimming pool, but it provides a nice focal point.
ruthiealqallaf Thanks for the reply. Do you have a source of where I can buy them and what size are they? I assume they are egg size and blue and white? I tis something new for me and we are laying tiles in 2 months for our pool and I would like to do the same. Thanks so much. Ruthie
In this example the exterior wall is a courtyard, so both sides are controlled, allowing for full-height glazing with no shades for privacy. Shelving on the left displays artwork that can be enjoyed even from outside, as people lounge next to the pool.
There's something very Zen and slightly aquarium-like about this pool, with its glass surround and stone and pebble flooring. Walking from one end to the other must feel like getting a gentle foot massage.
If these finishes don't quite suit your style, ask your pool designer how you can get really creative and customize your own type of finish. This pool, for example, uses fixed pebbles.More:Pretty Tiles Make Pools Perfect10 Ways to Make Your Home's Pool SpecialStrokes of Genius: 8 Stunning Lap Pools
I can't believe this photo! I mean you can walk right down the hallway and have a beautiful view of a really nice pool. You can also put on your bathing suit and turn a corner and BAM!!! You're swimming!!
