The pool pavilion, part of a 75,000 m² landscape project in Hidalgo, Mexico, designed by the Naso, integrates five key elements: a fountain, a habitable wall, a portico, a pool, and a ha-ha. This architectural intervention enhances the relationship between built structures and the surrounding environment.
It is one of three architectural interventions within a 75,000 m² landscape project in Hidalgo, Mexico, showcasing five interconnected elements aligned in parallel: a fountain, a habitable wall, a portico, a pool, and a ha-ha.
The fountain serves as the central feature of the lobby, surrounded by dense vegetation that highlights the pavilion’s entrance through the stone habitable wall. This wall blocks direct views of the pool area, providing privacy.
Within the stone wall, the bathroom and storage area are situated. These interior spaces are connected by small stone patios that bring in natural light and ventilation.
The concrete portico houses the main leisure spaces and functions as a terrace, integrating the habitable area with the landscape. The pool lies between the portico and the ha-ha, a submerged wall that restricts access while allowing uninterrupted views.
The ha-ha visually links the livestock area with the pool area. It creates tension between the pool and the ha-ha, orchestrating various spatial sensations and providing unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape.
