This 30 foot water basin could easily be a swimming pool. It is aligned with the house as a natural extension of the indoors to the outdoors. When you enter the house by the front door the water feature is the visual focal point framed by a long central corridor. Also it is placed so that during the day the sun's rays reflect off the pond surface and dance on the ceiling of the master bedroom. The blue grey slate is a local material and contributes to the sparkling qualities of the moving water.
