added by Shawn Gauthier to 16 Amazing Home Pools
How often do you pull your lounge chair up to the ocean's edge to cool down while on vaca? Replicate that refreshing feel in your pool with a step large enough for a couple of lounge chairs.
added by Josh McCullar | SMBW to Great Compositions: The L-Shaped House Plan
Pools are often the reason for using the L-shape concept. Living and sleeping spaces are allowed direct access and views, and the pool is protected and made private by the configuration of the home. Many towns require a pool to be fenced and separated, but the configuation of the house can achieve this need and at the same time, make the pool a focal point of landscape design and reflection for the architecture.Notice here how the link between the two wings is the lowest roof line of the L-shaped plan. This is the masterstroke because it allows more of the sky to be reflected in the pool, and each element is scaled, as in a previous example, to the outdoor space it serves. The vertical chimney acts as a punctuation mark terminating the axis of the terrace stair, while the horizontal linear window wall is mirrored in the length of the pool. There is a clear sense of purpose behind each element of the home and landscape.More: Artful and Efficient L-Shaped Home in AustinMore inspiring architecture
