Spa Minimalism · Poolside: The Indoor Stretch

A small indoor swimming pool or cold plunge pool and its surroundings. The pool is not large—about three meters by one and a half meters, with a depth of only one meter twenty, sufficient for soaking and short walks rather than swimming; the pool walls and bottom are dark stone or fine aggregate mosaic, making the water appear dark green. The poolside flooring is the same stone, treated for slip resistance and with underfloor heating. On one side is a full-height French window, outside of which is a walled courtyard. On the other side, a very thin linear light strip washes light onto the stone wall. Beside the pool is a wooden bench and rolled towels. The air is temperature-controlled, and the water surface is calm. Overall illumination is low. Avoid: using light blue pool bottoms and tiles, making the pool large like a standard swimming pool, adding water play equipment and colored lights, making the space brightly lit.

一個小型的室內泳池或冷水池及其周邊。池不大——約三米乘一米五,深度僅一米二,足夠泡與短距離走動而不是游泳;池壁與池底是深色的石材或細石馬賽克,水色因此偏墨綠。池畔的地坪是同一種石材,做防滑處理並有地暖。一側是一道通高的落地窗,外面是被牆圍住的庭院。另一側牆上有一道極細的線性燈帶洗在石牆上。池邊有一張木質長凳與捲好的浴巾。空氣是恆溫的,水面平靜。整體照度低。避免:使用淺藍的池底與磁磚、把池做大成標準泳池、加入戲水的設備與彩色燈、把空間照得明亮。
