What if...




Yes, I am crazy, the house is not yet finished, and I am already planning the next stages. So what if we add an indoor swimming pool? If we did so, the cost of the building housing it would be quite extravagant for non-rich people like us, so we better justify it by adding a guest apartment upstairs. Which brings the whole thing to the size of another house. About 200 m2 or so.

Well, we are starting to bounce ideas with Fabián and Luis, our architects, who seem very unexcited by our requirement that the pool is to be heated with solar panels. These are the first renderings they have sent us. We want the second volume closer to the main house, with the decks-bridge joining both buildings to serve as car port. There will be windows, of course. Downstairs will be the pool, and upstairs probably an all-purpose room with a bathroom, or a bedroom, a living area and bathroom. We´ll see what the final design looks like in a few weeks.
