While this pool needs absolutely no explanation, it does have a lovely story. The homeowner has been playing the violin from a young age and is an engineer and mathematician by trade, making this stunning pool a confluence of two passions. While training for a triathlon, the owner became interested in adding a lap pool to the home. When surveying the land for a pool began, they realized the calculations were like that of a violin, thus inspiring the idea of creating a violin-shaped pool. An award-winning design-and-architectural firm was brought in to execute this vision and complete the project. Features include glass tiles on the bottom, underwater audio, programmed lighting patterns, two koi ponds, and a river-flow system into the pool.
