Pools must be
rectangular—so say Olympic pool builders and no one else.
The truth is pools
can be any shape you want, and the only limiting factor to your
pool’s
design
is your imagination. You can discuss your ideas with pool builders to
come up with a pool that’s uniquely yours, from the shape to the
color scheme. If you need inspiration, perhaps you can take a cue
from these one-of-a-kind pool designs from various places across the
globe.
Yin and Yang
Pool
Reiters
Supremehotel in Austria boasts of a wellness spa featuring a pool
shaped like the yin-yang symbol of Chinese philosophy. A small
isthmus divides the two pools, with access areas placed oppositely.
The yin pool with the darker floor contains warm water; the yang pool
with the lighter floor contains cool water.
Red Pool
Pools can even
come in unusual colors, and the blood-red pool in Thailand breaks all
stereotypes. However, the water is as clear as it can be. The color
comes from the nifty arrangement of red, orange, and yellow mosaic
tiles that make up the pool floor. Several travel reviews rank this
as one of the most spectacular pools in the world.
Violin Pool
Here's one closer
to home. A Bedford, NY resident decided to express his love for music
by having a pool built in the shape of a 1700s Stradivarius violin,
complete with the four strings, which are part of an impressive light
show at night. In June 2014, the design was awarded "Best Pool
Design" by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals.
