This luxurious, subterranean wine cave, designed by Andrew Bartolotta AIA of Beinfield Architecture, won an award in the months I’ve been off the internet grid. The Connecticut AIA bestowed the coveted Encompassing the Art Award for Architecture on this project at the end of 2012.

I can’t help but imagine the award had something to do with the wall of brightly colored cylinders that are actually repurposed snare drum cases. That’s clearly my favorite design element because if it’s uniqueness, but also because the LED lighting glows through the acrylic adding a playful sparkle to what could easily be a much more serious room.

All I need is a tasting table and a cocktail dress…

 

Last week we had some puddle controversy. The outdoor shower should be luxurious, not distracting. Who wants to be reminded they need to go home and mop their floor? Nobody. Especially me. My floor, which I am ignoring in favor of work so far, has a light sheen of toddler from all the ice cream served this past weekend.

Since I have another week to get this competition entry together, we are revisiting our modern, Cor-Ten, pool pavillion. I promise, after this post I’m going to be sick of it. Actually, I don’t think I could ever get sick of this amazing structure, which I just learned was originally conceived as a tractor rusting away in the field, but I promise to show you a different project next week since this is the 3rd time (who’s counting?) I’m asking you to chime in here.  Without further ado, here’s the big questions:

Which image best represents the outdoor shower?

Thanks for all your input. I really enjoy the discussion every week. And I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. I’m thinking of crashing the Pool Pavillion…

 

If you’re new here, on Wednesdays I open up the comments for you to tell me which view from a recent photo shoot you prefer. And why. I love hearing what you have to say. You can peruse past Which One? features here.

 

You’ve already seen the other side of this incredible, corten steel pool house with the green roof when you helped me choose the one representative shot for this project. Well, I am revisiting this shoot once again to cull the best images for a design competition entry.

I have a few more views and details to edit from the day, but we definitely need that image that just makes you want to stop everything and jump in. It’s a gorgeous and innovative structure by Beinfield Architecture, but it’s still a pool house.

So, pray tell, which one most makes you want to grab your swimsuit (or not, if you know what I mean) and be transported to this private haven?

I am a huge fan of pools. Huge. I’ve been enjoying ours tremendously. And I hope you, too, are enjoying your summer with a bit of fun and luxury.

You may recognize this house. This is an amazingly gorgeous Beinfield Architecture project in Connecticut that I’ve been lucky enough return to several times for photo shoots. It’s like being on vacation for the day. Except I have to wear real people clothes and it’s not so professional if I jump in the pool.

The architect and home owner refer to this project as The House in the Meadow. And now that the landscaping has had a chance to grow in, you can get a real sense of the meadow.

So, often times, in promotional material and competitions, you have to choose a single representative image to showcase a project. In this Which One? I’d like to get your opinion on the most striking image to represent this house.

Now that I’m writing this, I’m remembering last summer’s dusk shot which is popular with the architect. But, you know what, let’s stick to these daytime shots so I don’t get a headache.

I have a clear favorite. I’ll tell you mine, if you tell me yours…
