The BCA pool was built on a terrain of a pre-existing villa of the early twentieth century. The pool location was defined based on two premisses: in one hand choose the best sun exposure area and on the other hand make sure that the pool was integrated in the terraced landscape where there are big height differences. The terrace on the west of the house allowed to combine these factors creating a pool with a trapezoidal form and with a great view over the ocean. The pool is finished with glass mosaic white tiles inside and basaltic stone in the outside.
