In his incessant search for inspiring design ideas, Michael gathered a collection of 21 fabulous pools in order to boost our reader’s spirits. You can take them as beautiful ideas and you can appreciate their shape and style. But what we would like you to do is keep the designs in mind and consider these pictures as inspiring concepts for your future pool, whether its construction will occur in two weeks or ten years. They are all outdoor pools, some integrated in the house construction, others in the perimeter of the domain, close to the actual building. The ones that are located near the sea are particularly spectacular. We also like the wooden decks and the gazebos. Hope you will enjoy this display of elegance and design eccentricity and if you have any pool ideas you would like to share with us, don’t hesitate!

Located in Atlantic Beach, New York, this impressive display of architecture comes from Belmont Freeman Architects and is a symbol of modern design. In a community of 1920's and 30's homes, this project comes to break the pattern and impose contemporaneity. We are not fond of this idea, however the building team considers that the the Kowalewski residence remains “respectful of the scale and architectural traditions of the community”. Overall, we think the house has some pretty cool architecture features, such as the irregular shape or the vertical window section which brakes monotony and seems to split the building in two unequal parts. The round window is also of great aesthetic effect. Still, in our opinion, homes should lose the rigid feel and stick to a design that inspires a homey atmosphere.
