The visionaries who created the 66 award-winning projects presented in the book reached past the mundane, the ordinary, or the expected to deliver memorable, distinctive, and noteworthy applications.
The fourth annual water-inspired design competition lured architects, interior designers, builders, and designers from across the globe to share their projects in the hopes of earning a GAVA. Their unique perspectives will have you wondering, “How did they think of that?” Fulfilling the desires of their clients, designers crafted inspiring settings incorporating design elements such as infinity edges, all-tile interiors, freeform shapes, natural stone, perimeter overflow, acrylic panels, and indoor installation pools. For anyone passionate about residential or commercial AquaTekture, this book will be a treasure trove of inspiration.
The GAVA Gold winning project by Blue Stone Pools in Western Australia captured the coveted front cover of the book with an exquisite geometric design.
