Pool in Umbria: water and stone

This new swimming pool was finally completed just before the hot Umbrian summer started. The design is the result of the close collaboration between the architect and the client, a Danish couple who recently bought their dream holiday home in Umbria. It is a standard, 6m by 12m rectangular pool with roman steps on the shallow end and stone seating behind. This earthy element acts as a kind of border between artifice and the stunning backdrop of nature. On the opposite side, a loggia with fireplace provides social space and shelter to enjoy the pool day and night.
