Summer is coming and with it comes the annual opening of the swimming pool. However, most of us are not as fortunate as the folks who get to go for a dip in the masterpieces in this cluster. These are some of the most astonishing examples I have ever seen.
From the cantilevered glass-walled infinity lap pool in the Farrar home in Park City to the fantastic roof-top pool at the Starwood hotel in Dallas, Texas, designers are hard at work creating the most remarkable places to watch a movie, do some exercising or just lounge beside while enjoying a cool drink.
Just for fun, I’ve included an ultra-modern swimming pool coffee table complete with diving board and an article on a new way for pups to dog-paddle their way to a healthy weight.
