Donald Judd Inspired Swimming Tank

When Takt delivered to us the model of our house with an open courtyard between the bedrooms and living pavilion, my instant thought was a swimming tank in this location. I plonked a roll of packing tape on the model to give them an idea of the scale and this led to what we are now building.

Long admirer of Donald Judd's swimming tank at Marfa, Texas, I think above ground pools are way cool. 

Above ground pools are particularly good if you can use the height to meet pool fencing code requirements. Accessing a 1.2m high pool off grade is clumsy and hard to make right but with our tank we will be accessing it off an adjacent deck by way of a gangplank, allowing the tank to sit quite comfortably at 1.2 m or higher.
