Throw Back Time 1998
Award Presented To: Giuseppe Abbrancati Gappsi
The water in this faux pool is hard enough to support people who wish to get a view of the softer water just yards away. Adjacent to a catering hall, the roof plaza deck is a subtle metaphor: hold a great pool party without getting wet. The illusion of the water’s motion is cleverly introduced into the pattern, even in the whirlpool bath. The pavers rest on a thin layer of bedding sand over a waterproof membrane. Paving stones were custom colored and manufactured by Nicolock
