Willow House by Guz Architects
Guz Architects are known for creating spectacular tropical oases throughout Singapore and the Southern Pacific, each of their homes dripping with multiple levels of gardens, courtyards and swimming pools that often merge into ponds and other water features. In the case of Willow House, the pool peers into the lower levels of the home.
Jellyfish House by Wiel Arets Architecture
Located on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, Jellyfish House by Wiel Arets Architecture features an incredible cantilevered pool that stretches out from the roof to take in views of the sea that would otherwise be blocked by neighboring houses. The living room terrace is placed beneath it to take advantage of both shade and the views through the pool’s glass bottom.
Summer Home by Serrano + Baquero
