Casa Son Vida (Mallorca, Spain) by tecDesign, Inc.

















You’d never guess that this over-the-top Mediterranean home with a space-age pool was sustainably built, but it incorporates passive cooling, geothermal technology, solar energy, and recycled rainwater. Also: deck chairs in the pool. Enough said.






















As the weather inches towards summer, we’ve got pools on the brain. Not just any pools, mind you: a far cry from the basic concrete rectangles, rocky swimming holes, or above-ground pools familiar across America, these five swimming pools are part of a larger architectural vision. We’ve picked a handful of international homes (including three in Spain, where architects apparently take their swimming pools seriously) that have meshed fanciful water features into equally incredible living spaces.
