What’s better than a house with a pool? A house with a pool that’s part of the structure of the house. These projects show different ways to incorporate pools and how to resolve issues of weight, moisture and leaks.
When the clients approached architect Fernanda Canales to design their weekend home near Mexico City, the complexity of the project soon became apparent. Without removing any trees, Fernanda Canales needed to find a solution to build the private retreat around existing vegetation. Made in a collaboration with architect Claudia Rodríguez, Casa Bruma features nine pavilions with an inner courtyard. Every structure seems to seamlessly fit into the landscape, but the volumes have a specific orientation and design that solves several issues. The architects designed the complex with a minimalist look while also taking into account the specific climate conditions of the area.
Noel Kerns is a Dallas-based photographer specializing in capturing Texas’ ghost towns, decommissioned military bases, and industrial abandonments at night. Growing up in the central Texas hill country, Kerns developed his photographic skills shooting large format black & white landscapes. The slow and deliberate nature of the large format photographic process was a perfect launching pad into the art of digitally photographing the nocturnal world.
One of the things Kerns enjoy most about photographing under a full moon are all the latent details, those things which reveal themselves only when you take the time to let the moonlight tell the story. He loves the calm and tranquility of a peaceful night scene, as well as the eerie feeling one can get when shooting an old desert ghost town under a full moon.
