SELVA URBANA

Project Info:

This pool, located in downtown Guatemala City, had the goal of transporting the user to a very different location: the middle of the jungle. This was accomplished through gardenization and the conservation of as many trees as possible in existence on the terrain where it was constructed.

The color of the tiles installed in the pool emulates that of the rivers that flow in the country in the rainy season: an emerald-green shade. To give closure to the idea of being in the midst of a natural environment, a waterfall was placed on one of the walls, which emits a pleasant sound when water falls.
