Parquet Patterned Pool and Spa in Southern Sweden

From the architects Claesson Koivisto Rune:

A spa with two pools has been completed adjacent to a 1796 mansion in south Sweden. The spa has one indoor pool for wintertime and one outdoor for summer. The outdoor pool sits on a podium, which levels the slope on which the mansion sits. It thus creates a platform from which you have an elevated view over the estate towards the back. Yet, it sits discrete as seen from the approach to the main entrance.

Lending inspiration from the Gustavian (Neoclassical) mansion in general and parquet floor patterns from the time in particular, the concept is built on the chevron (French parquet). The oversized (in comparison with normal parquets) tiles are white which allows them to be coloured turquoise by the depth of the water. Each step down into the pool thus is a deeper hue of turquoise. The water itself is not treated as a transparent ”nothing” but as a visible element and one of the materials on the palette. A material with the added function of beautifully lifting the tile pattern from the bottom of the pool to the surface, refracted and distorted by ripples.

And I don’t know why it hurt so much, but standing there, with you, your face glowing in the moonlight, set fire to my soul a bit too much, its remains perishing in ash as the sun came up and you walked away.

It was wrong to say I was falling in love, because I never felt any weight, because I was really flying in love, for the first time in my life. - Arizona Dream (1993)

“ Sometimes, the worst part of a storm is not the fact that it hits you, it’s knowing that on the desolate side of things, you’ll have to rebuild your life again. And rebuilding one’s life after tragedy is like trying to make pillars out of sand .”
