THE POOL BOOK
Fontanile
The “Fontanile” is located in the garden of a villa at the bottom of the old city walls. Like the “Villae Minimae”, the “Fontanile” is designed to be used as a site for observing the landscape: two stonewalls frame the surrounding nature, isolating a single point of view, like an optical device. These elements link together three open air spaces: the landscape, the fountain, and the deck.
The shape and the proportions of this work are reminiscent of the old country fountains of the surroundings. The project aims to create a space in harmony with nature and artifice,with the countryside and the city, allowing contemplation of the landscape.
