| Pool Pavilion, an Intriguing Recreational Building Design Posted: 12 Aug 2010 05:34 AM PDT  Pool Pavilion is a very interesting project designed by Peter Gluck and Partners Architects and located in Adirondack mountains, New York, near Lake George. The residence has two levels and was built in order to have a recreational purpose for the owners, their family and friends. The exterior is highly original, especially the undulating roof which also serves as a green terrace for leisure. The ground level looks like a rift in its environment while the upper floor serves as a home office and as a “guarding point”. Floor to ceiling windows allow unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape here, as opposed to those from the first floor, that offer a limited perspective. This fun retreat houses a gym, a theater and a spectacular pool flanked with glass and iron panels. What do you think- appealing enough for a family vacation?

We really like this product on its own, but in the last two photos you have an interesting display. Put more of these “footprints” together and you can achieve a playful pattern.

The materials used are glass, polywood and glossy paint. Serving drinks off this product may feel a little strange at first, but the overall idea is quite creative.
