The Color of the Pool: Black Stone Deepens the Water

A swimming pool viewed from indoors. The inner walls of the pool are paved with dark grey or black volcanic rock chips, so the water color is dark green-ink rather than bright blue; the water surface is calm, reflecting the eaves, sky, and surrounding plants. The edge of the pool is flush with the platform, with only a narrow overflow channel. There are no railings or pool ladders by the pool, only a few flat stone slabs. Avoid: using blue tiles to make the water an artificial blue, adding metal handrails and pool ladders, paving with plastic wood platforms, adding colorful parasols and plastic lounge chairs.

一座從室內看出去的泳池。池的內壁鋪著深灰或黑色的火山岩片,因此水的顏色是深綠墨色而不是鮮豔的藍;水面平靜,倒映著屋簷、天空與周圍的植物。池的邊緣與平台齊平,只有一道細窄的溢水溝。池邊沒有欄杆與泳池梯,只有幾塊平整的石板。避免:使用藍色磁磚讓水呈現人工的藍、加入金屬扶手與泳池梯、鋪設塑木平台、加入彩色的遮陽傘與塑膠躺椅。
