- Post-and-beam concrete or steel frame supporting large spans of glazing.
- Spatial scale
- Double-height interior volume with large format floor-to-ceiling glazing and a wide pool deck.
- Lighting
- Backlit daylight streaming through large sliding glass doors, casting long shadows from furniture across the pool deck.
- Atmosphere
- Serene, luminous, and contemplative with soft reflections on calm water.
- Environmental context
- Indoor pool room looking out toward a landscape featuring hills and a mature tree.
- Spatial experience
- Grounded by the still water surface and expansive horizontal glazing, the room opens visually to the outdoor landscape across the pool edge.
