Falls Road

We were tasked with designing and creating a pool that connected the water within to the blue sky above. As you can see from the photograph, we specified an American recycled glass tile in three colors of blue on the pool floor. In the daylight, the tiles reflect sunlight upward through the gently circulating water to create a pleasant shimmer. A similar but slightly different effect is created at night from the pool lights. This feature gives the pool a sense of life that can’t be achieved with traditional materials. Another fact worth noting is that no tiles were cut during the installation process. Precise calculations are required for this to happen. As architects, we see that as part of the artistry and value we bring to every project. It was an honor to complete a project complementing a home initially built by Shariff and Munir and remodeled by Diane Wright.
