'A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it's being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable' - Lou Kahn

Horizon Pool and House| between Trebbia River and Nure River Valleys, strong excavation operations and soil consolidations prepare the Hillside to host a new private residential swimming Pool, designed to be part of the Horizon.

Natural Indian Sandstone and sand color tones of the Pool finishes mix the natural and the man built landscapes, creating a new soil profile ending in Void.
