— 4 —Secluded Steel Pool Enclosure
OVERLOOKING THE COAST of the Pacific Northwest, this steel and glass conservatory is partially buried in the landscape, encloses a swimming pool, and is Zen-like in its simplicity. The vision for this custom steel pool enclosure originated with the owners and stemmed from their fascination with early glasshouse architecture, which utilized and pushed the boundaries of nineteenth-century engineering.
The owners wished to pay homage to those Victorian-era marvels; the first buildings to use new materials made available by the Industrial Revolution in Europe. Fanciful, idealistic, and energetic, those ambitious conservatories serve as inspiration now in a time similarly fixed on advanced technologies.
AS CONSERVATORY SPECIALISTS, WE USE ALL THAT TECHNOLOGY CAN ACHIEVE AND LOOK FORWARD TO ALL IT PROMISES. BUT TANGLEWOOD DESIGNS ALSO LOOK BACK TO AN ERA THAT PARALLELS OUR OWN — ONE OF IMAGINATION AND POSSIBILITY, BEAUTY, GRACE, AND STYLE.
The resulting design of this custom steel pool enclosure, recalls the steel exoskeleton utilized at the Schönbrunn Palace palm house in Vienna. The articulated trusses suspend a delicate glass skin underneath and allow the smooth uninterrupted interior surface to reflect the meditative space inside.
