Wright | Sunken Pool by the Creek: Continuity of Water

The horizontal balcony of the residence cantilevers out from a rock face, suspended above a natural waterfall. The actual swimming pool is a very small, sunken square pool, located at the edge of the lower platform. Water is drawn from the stream and then overflows back into the stream, so the pool water and stream water are the same, and the temperature is also identical. The pool edge is constructed from locally quarried stratified stone, contrasting with the fair-faced concrete and steel window frames of the balcony. Surrounding it is a dense deciduous forest, with autumn light filtering through the canopy onto the water surface. Shot from a low angle on the stream bank looking up, with the small pool, cantilevered balcony, and waterfall all in the same frame. Avoid: enlarging the pool to standard size, blue tiles on the pool bottom, clearing the forest, adding railings and pool equipment.

住宅的水平陽台從岩壁挑出去,懸在一道天然的瀑布之上。真正的泳池是一個很小的方形下沉水池,設在下層平台的邊緣,水從溪流引進來、再滿出去回到溪裡,所以池水與溪水是同一道水,溫度也一樣。池緣是當地開採的層積石砌成,和陽台的清水混凝土、鋼窗框互相對照。周圍是茂密的落葉林,秋天的光穿過樹冠落在水面上。從溪岸低處往上拍攝,小池、挑出的陽台與瀑布在同一個畫面裡。避免:泳池放大到標準尺寸、池底貼藍色磁磚、樹林清空、加設欄杆與泳池設備。
