About this title

Synopsis

Few constructions better illustrate the culture of leisure and comfort than the swimming pool. Adding a swimming pool to a private house certainly increase the quality of life, not only because of its intrinsic advantages but also because it suggests a benign climate and an idyllic life in the open air. Until recently, pools were limited to the wealthy; nowadays, imaginative architects and landscape designers can create magnificent, affordable pools. Small Pools presents designer pools, romantic pools, renovated pools, wading pools, and charming covered pools. Due to the projects' reduced size, they serve as ideal examples for those who wish to construct a pool on their property, even with a limited budget or limited space. Small Pools hopes to inspire the reader with its wide variety of examples in which imagination plays an important role when it comes time to renovating preexisting structures or designing and constructing a new space for relaxation and enjoyment. Each inspiring project is examined in-depth through a descriptive text and visually appealing images, including some designer's sketches.
