Modern and original pools
If you compare what a modern pool years ago to what it is today, you can see how the designs are marking people's preferences in terms of enjoyment and relaxation.
Before swimming pools were a simple rectangle, a box, however, today a considerable investment is usually made, turning them into unique pieces of decoration or elements that stand out with an impressive singularity.
The designs and the features that make them attractive are endless and trends continue to emerge with the rapturous imaginations of architects and imaginative people.
Today, we are going to see some examples of original pools that we would like to put our feet in for a while.
1.- From container to pool
We started with an idea that has convinced us a lot, both for its practicality and from its constructive perspective. We are talking about a modern pool built thanks to a container and the company ModPools.
One of the best ideas for pools modern is to use prefabricated containers for simplicity in installation and that are relatively inexpensive.
The company has managed to standardize a model that not only provides us with functionality or aesthetics in design, it has also managed to substantially reduce costs when using typical maritime containers without neglecting the adjustments that can be made through a telephone application such as temperature, intensity jets or lighting. We like!
Remember our extensive article on pool cleaning and water care, there are many useful tips and you will save some euro on maintenance.
2.- An overhang for swimming
Marbella (Spain) is a popular destination especially in the summer months due to its pleasant climate and picturesque beaches, but there is also "the house of the jellyfish" built by a Dutch architecture studio.
Pure design and luxury within the reach of very few but that can give us an interesting idea. From the living room of the house there is a sweeping cantilever that houses a fantastic and original pool that lets natural light filter through the water in a kinetic aquatic environment for the enjoyment of its owners.
A cantilever calculated to support 66 tons of weight, certainly a good headache for the one who calculated the structure of the project, but without a doubt and possibly the modern pool more Top of Spain.
2.- A mobile pool
There are people who have good ideas and others who simply have them spectacular!… We are talking about the French artist Benedetto Bufalino who with his artistic pieces is always revolutionizing concepts.
In this case, he had to transform an old caravan into a mobile pool and of course I have been quite good.
We have already talked about this artist sometime and of course, you have to see the article on how to go from concrete mixer to disco ball, very good!
4.- Bathe in the middle of the desert, if you find it!
A shimmering pool of turquoise waters in the middle of the Mojave desert (United States), surrounded by sand, possibly there will be more than one hotel that has one, but the problem is that getting to this pool is quite difficult, without signs or paths.
The "Social Pool»By the artist Alfredo Barsuglia is a minimalist sculpture, offering a refreshing bath to anyone who can find it. It has a sliding cover and can fit up to two people at a time.
With a bit of luck you still find it, the Mojave desert has an area of approximately 124,000 km²…. A original pool that surely many would like to find.
In a globalized world where everything is accessible at any time, the artist's intention is that visitors who find this fantastic pool, rest, find time to think about their lives and their social values.
5.- A classic
Although the power to chatter in this spectacular pool is not suitable for all budgets, it is a classic that we have seen in many movies.
From the Hotel Indigo Hong Kong Island, among its most notable features, on the rooftop is a glass-bottom pool with an overhang jutting out of the building that acts as a beacon for the luxurious accommodation.
Swimmers can be seen by pedestrians passing at street level and at night, it lights up representing an architectural icon of the wonderful city Hong Kong.
6.- From the Serengeti National Park
