On Edge

Completed in 2007, the Joule Hotel pool in downtown Dallas, Texas literally represents cutting edge design at its best. The pool actually juts out of the building’s exterior, creating a teetering effect as it hangs 80 feet above the street below. This design is forward thinking because of the way it effectively uses the diminutive urban space. The Joule pool increases its range by puncturing the outer barrier that inhibited it from reaching its full potential. Thus the pool users dive into a completely new threshold, one that hovers on the edge of daring innovation and honest practicality.
