Kevin Akey, of AZD Associates-Architects in

Birmingham, designed the 60-foot lap pool in
space below the master bedroom to accommodate
the owner's daily exercise routine. The lap pool
was built by Paddock Pools of West Bloomfield.

_ --

Architects, the owners requested a 60-
foot indoor lap pool. Akey deftly cre-
ated the pool out of the crawl space.
He also enlarged the master bedroom.
While the front of the home is
unassuming, boaters on the lake
have a breathtaking sight of two
modern wings of a three-level
home cascading down a 22-foot
drop to the lake.
Spectators and visitors agree with
Gaber's assessment — "You
couldn't ask for a better canvas."
