Phoenicia InterContinental Hotel swimming pool
Title
Phoenicia InterContinental Hotel swimming pool
Description
When Prince thought the area devoted to the pool was too small for a luxury resort, he tackled the problem through design: he created undulating waves of blue, green, and white tile that flowed across the terrace into the swimming pool, that, when viewed from above, made the oval pool seem to ripple out into the courtyard and appear larger than it actually was.
