Project Description
With an increasing number of visitors to Aranya, a well-known seaside resort in northern China, two pools and amenities are designed to cater more leisure experience for families and kids.
As the site is next to the sea, the design for the pools starts with a "lemon slice", which reminds of a refreshing and relaxed mindset, just like that you lounge on the beach and drink a lemon juice.
Then we converted “lemon” into a real pool on ground with people playing in water. In order to make best representation for "lemon slice", the pool is planked with crystal mosaic tiles in 3 colors - "white, light yellow and yellow". The 3-color mosaic tiles in the water make the pool a complete graphic of lemon in distance while they're also bringing the detail richness in close-up view angles.
In contrast to bright yellow of the lemon pool, the neighboring pure white trellis structure is bringing you to a rectangular lap pool with an infinite edge towards the sea. The picturesque view from the lounge chair to the beach is just stunning with only white and blue in your eyes .
