Swimming pool on the Tuscan hills

The tendency in designing a new swimming pool, very often, is to locate it as close as possible to the place where you live; but where the landscape has a strong visual importance, instead, is the landscape that generates its position and its connotations both material and spatial.

In this village, nestled in the Tuscan hills, mainly cultivated with vines and olive trees, it was precisely a terracing created on the border with the cultivated land, which inspired us to design a simple and linear surface that reflected the lights and colors of the surrounding countryside.
