Pavilion Paradise Amherst MA
These sleek poolside structures offer swimmers and sunbathers various levels of exposure to or protection from the elements. Walls of glass slide away for seamless indoor/outdoor flow while roof overhangs and flooring merge with the pool decking to further blur the line between pavilion and terrace.

Pool Plunge
A disappearing-edge pool and its pool house make the most of stunning vistas from a bluff overlooking Huntsville and offer year-round enjoyment of Alabama's mild seasons. Architect Alan Dynerman pushed the pool area to the far corner of the yard for two reasons: He doesn't think a pool should replace a backyard and he wanted the pool house to be a destination on the edge of the panorama. “It becomes an overlook to the city, and the water acts as a threshold to the view below,” says the architect. Three skylights run the width of the building, dividing the roof into four floating slabs. “The skylights make people aware of seasonal as well as hourly changes by the quality of light coming through,” he explains. A double-sided concrete fireplace heats up the pool house and the dining terrace on cool evenings, and a sauna provides a toasty place to unwind after a swim any day.
