Bohlin Cywinski Jackson designed the Farrar Residence, a 13,000 square foot house located on 12.8 acres of land in Park City, Utah. The home is full of amazing features, but probably the most remarkable is the 25 meter lap pool that cantilevers over a seasonal stream, with an acrylic panel that extends from the pool bottom to the stainless steel ceiling and aquarium glass at the end.

Here is a project description from the architects, “The steep sloping terrain and expansive views of the alpine landscape were essential in defining the form of the house. Two linear volumes intersect at the main living space connecting the guest and master wings. The pool volume continues into the forest; terminating as it cantilevers over a seasonal creek. The material palette complements the natural setting of the house: wood siding, concrete walls, stone masses and expanses of glass create a strong connection to the landscape.”
