Set in a beautiful part of Dulwich, the garden is surrounded by mature trees with preservation orders, which made finding the perfect spot for the pool a challenge. After carefully mapping the trees' root zones, we designed the pool to fit precisely between them, avoiding any disruption to the roots and staying clear of the tree canopies. Positioning the pool so that the shallow regeneration zones fringe the root areas was a key challenge, but we found the ideal balance. The pool, measuring 10 meters long by 4 meters wide, is perfect for swimming lengths and for the entire family to enjoy together. It features a child-friendly beach on one side, allowing younger family members to safely wade into the water at their own pace. The beach leads gently from the shallow end into deeper water, and water mint along the edges releases a lovely aroma as you enter the pool. A bubbling boulder at the beach creates soothing ripples and also helps mask nearby traffic sounds, enhancing the tranquil setting. We carefully considered how our clients would move around and use the pool. The jetty aligns with the house, creating a visual invitation to step onto the jetty and dive in. A walkway along the pool’s side connects two wider decked areas—a sunny deck for lounging and a larger outdoor living space near the pool house, perfect for family gatherings and dining.

Fin dai primi sopralluoghi ci ha colpito il rapporto particolare che il sito ha con lo splendido scenario della Alpi Apuane, una visuale privilegiata della catena montuosa nella sua ampiezza, non inquinata da villette “svettanti”. Ci è parsa quindi prioritaria la volontà di definire il progetto in orizzontale, creando un’architettura minima, del "quasi nulla" che riportasse alla mente le costruzioni effimere che caratterizzavano il litorale versiliese prima dell’espansione urbanistica degli ultimi decenni. La costruzione non cerca così di mostrarsi, ma piuttosto sparire tra le siepi di confine, una sorta di vela leggera sospesa su esili piedritti e definita da lunghi setti orizzontali in cemento faccia-vista, che definiscono un ideale palcoscenico per le montagne retrostanti. Un intervento calibrato e quasi timido rispetto all’intorno, che trova la sua qualità nell’uso dei diversi materiali con cui sono trattare le superficie. La zona giorno si proietta nel giardino, che diventa una sorta di salone a cielo aperto mentre la natura, vegetazione ed acqua penetrano all’interno in un continuo gioco di rimandi enfatizzato dalle riflessioni create dalla piscina e dalle vetrate. Se il piano terra costituisce il luogo dell’incontro privilegiato con natura e spazio esterno, il piano interrato è invece il rifugio sicuro, lontano dagli sguardi e dai rumori, dove ritirarsi durante la notte, protetto e caratterizzato da un inaspettato ampio patio sul lato est che diffonde la luce naturale in tutte gli spazi e le camere da letto.
