Nicknamed the Jellyfish House, Wiel Arets Architects was challenged to create a home that offered panoramic views while swimming in a location whose views where cut off by the neighbouring houses. The solution was a rooftop swimming pool that would offer views from all four sides and since the residence is located in Marbella, Spain, on the Mediterranean coast, these views are about as beautiful as you can get. With the decision to locate the pool on the roof, the usual poolside vistas from the interior of the home would not be possible unless large sections of its surround was built with transparent glass. To achieve this desired result, the architect cantilevered the pool over the lower terrace so that no electrical or plumbing structures would interfere with the pools glazings.
