What should the pool look like?
First it should not have a usual pool shape
like primitive geometric shapes
or a simple composition based on such shapes.
Secondly, one should be surrounded by water
and get the sensation of being outside
when sitting in the living room.
Then it should include a 25 meter lap pool
to get serious swimming done right.
It should also have a vast 2 feet-shallow side
to allow crocodile-style relaxing.
Finally there should not be any vertical accent,
such as a metallic ladder,
breaking the horizontal quiteness of the pool.
The stairs are part of the pool itself
placed in a strategic spot.
