apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

i saw these posted via google's weird but true or whatever section a few months ago... love the black and white. the roof flooded and the kids took advantage! probably wasn't very swimmable, though... tar... ich.

The forgot Dale Chihuly's personal lap pool! That HAS to be on the list!

This pool is even cooler if you could see a little more of the horizon, because the Eiffel Tower can be seen almost directly in line with the pools axis. Koolhaas was interviewed as being "insulted" by such a beautiful view, saying that the obvious thing to do would have been to align the pool with the view of the tower, so he intentionally skewed it a little bit.

The Georgian Terrace in Atlanta. I cannot find a pic, but if you go to their website, it is the 4th or 5th shot on the opening slideshow. A stunning rooftop pool.

how fantasic is that cave pool! we could play pirates!!

My ultimate dream home would include a 25-yard lap pool.

Am I the only person worried that the woman in the first picture is about to break both her arms diving into the five-foot wide side of the pool?? Don't do it lady!!

Also, I'm all over playing pirates/goonies in that cave pool.

That cave pool is magic...

Not if she "dives" like me, she won't! ;^)

Is that a man made pool or natural cave pool? I love it, but having a pool with such little light access would feel odd for long term summer fun. I guess in Florida we value the tan too much. lol.
