Like a kite flying through the sky, this pool captures the energy of stone and takes its place with agility on its host land.
Its design, respectful of nature, makes it an exceptional work where a feeling of peace and beauty reigns. The undulating steps, representing the mouvement of water, provide to the bather an enchanting path.
Notwithstanding its location in a rocky ecosystem, this swimming pool still had to meet the technical functions in order to integrate the plumbing and the various technological requirements. Also, no run-off was to be directed towards the pool, and it was with a mastery of stone that the shape entered into perfect symbiosis with its environment
‘The rope’ takes you down 18 steps carved out of the marble cape allowing you to gently , into this unique, magnificent pool. Even old age will not prevent water lovers from setting foot on the stairs to float with peace of mind. Its ergonomic design is an ellegant mariage of function and art, safety and experience.
This astonishing project is the culmination of technicals researchs, the result of a passion for stone and an artistic dedication wich met matter and the elements.
For the artist, it’s a achievement, bringing together dexterity, desires and self-improvement, provoking deep emotions into which he invites us to dive.
