When the owners of this breathtaking, two-floor apartment in Vila Nova Conceição, an upscale neighbourhood in Sao Paolo, Brazil, commissioned Brazilian architect Fernanda Marques of Fernanda Marques Arquitetos Associados to renovate their home, they asked for two things: adequate space to properly display their burgeoning art collection and a swimming pool. Although very different in nature, Marques saw that both requests represented a fundamental desire to surround oneself with visual stimuli and as such the pool was designed not just for swimming but also for viewing. And that’s how this unique apartment, evocatively called Panorama, ended up having a swimming pool right in the middle of the living room. Separated by 8cm-thick bonded glass panels, the slender, 10-metre-long pool stretches along the entire length of the double-height living room, functioning in effect as a peculiar aquarium, only instead of tropical fish or dolphins swimming in the turquoise waters, you can watch someone you know twirl, spin and glide underwater. This exceptionally surreal sensation is enhanced by the lush vegetation that grows on top of the pool making it more of an art installation and indeed less of a swimming pool.

这套令人惊叹的两层公寓位于巴西圣保罗的高档住宅区维拉·诺瓦·孔西奥(Vila Nova Concei O)。当这套公寓的主人委托巴西建筑师费尔南达·马克斯(Fernanda Marques)对他们的房子进行装修时，他们要求提供两件事：一是适当展示他们蓬勃发展的艺术品收藏的空间，二是建一个游泳池。虽然在本质上非常不同，马奎斯认为，这两种要求代表了一种基本的愿望，包围自己周围的视觉刺激，因此，游泳池设计不仅是为了游泳，也是为了观看。这就是为什么这个独特的公寓，令人印象深刻地被称为全景，最终在客厅中央有了一个游泳池。由8厘米厚的粘合玻璃板隔开的细长10米长的游泳池沿着双高起居室的整个长度延伸，实际上是一个奇特的水族馆，只有在绿松石水域游泳的热带鱼或海豚，你才能看到你认识的人在水下旋转、旋转和滑行。这种异常超现实的感觉被生长在游泳池顶部的茂密的植被所增强，使得它更像是一种艺术装置，而实际上是一个更少的游泳池。

The modernist interiors embody a minimalist aesthetic of clean, marble surfaces, neutral tones and an eclectic selection of furniture by mid-century Brazilian designers such as Joaquim Tenreiro and Zanine de Caldas, an ideal backdrop for the owners’ art collection which includes highly respected artists such as Ernesto Neto, Edgard de Souza, Manoel Rio Branco, Zerbini and Tunga. As Marques explains, I didn’t want the furniture to overwhelm the works of art, but rather to serve as support and counterpoint to them”. Distributed throughout the main spaces, each individual artwork is thoughtfully displayed with the help of large, unobstructed wall surfaces as well as a dedicated “gallery” space next to the dining area where track lighting can be adapted as the collection evolves.

现代主义内部体现了对清洁、大理石表面、中性色调的简约美学，以及中世纪巴西设计师（如JoaquimTenreiro和ZaninedeCaldas）的家具选择，这是业主“艺术收藏”的理想背景，其中包括高度尊重的艺术家，如ErnestoNeto、EdgarddeSouza、ManoelRioBranco、Zerbini和Tunga等高度受尊敬的艺术家。正如马尔克斯所解释的，我不想家具压倒艺术品，而是作为支持和对他们的反击”分布在整个主要空间中，每个单独的艺术品都是在宽敞、无障碍的墙面以及一个专用的“画廊”空间的帮助下进行的，在该空间中，轨道照明可以随着收集的发展而改变。

The double-height living room is needless to say the heart of the apartment, adjoined on the same level by the open-plan dining room and kitchen, and the master and guest bedrooms, a gym and an office on the first floor. This being the home of a couple with no children, the master bedroom takes centre stage. Designed as domestic “dress circle”, it enjoys great views of the living room below, including the pool, as well as the plant-draped patio beyond, while easily reclaiming its privacy courtesy of folding white panels. It also has direct access to the pool through an adjoining terrace from where the couple can dive right in. The pool is also reached from the lower floor via the patio's all-white switchback staircase that leads to an elevated deck. As the architect confesses, building the pool structure was the most challenging aspect in the project, both in terms of design and construction, yet “looking back, I think it was well worth it”. And by the looks of the apartment’s stunning interiors, it surely was.

这间双高的起居室更不用说是公寓的中心，它与开放式餐厅和厨房并排，还有主人和客人的卧室、健身房和一楼的办公室。这是一对没有孩子的夫妇的家，主卧室位于舞台中央。设计为国内“连衣裙圈”，可欣赏到客厅下面的美景，包括游泳池，以及外面植物覆盖的露台，同时也很容易通过折叠白色面板来恢复隐私。它还可以通过相邻的露台直接进入游泳池，这对夫妇可以在那里潜水。游泳池也是从较低的楼层，通过露台的全白色折叠式楼梯，通向一个高架甲板。正如建筑师所承认的那样，“建造水池结构是项目中最具挑战性的方面”，无论是在设计上还是在施工方面，但“回顾过去，我认为这是非常值得的”。从公寓内部令人叹为观止的外观来看，的确如此。
