Pool Pavilion in Marco de Canaveses, Portugal by António Cruz Lopes, ArchitectureAugust 12th, 2019 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: António Cruz Lopes, Architecture The Pool Pavilion is a unique project in its context, combining a regular shaped volume with an endless pool and a yard filled with scenic paths and different visual frames. Its fundamental premise was to give a sense of balance and order to a context with turbulent surroundings while keeping a smooth, light and integrated language.

Details like overlapping glass planes to camouflage shapes and structures, small recesses to detach surfaces and cruciform pillars with a more thinner appearance, were frequently used to give a lighter and more balanced language to a new building in an unruled context.
