design a perfect fit Mark Cavagnero Associates and Paulett Taggart Architects rebuilt San Francisco’s Charlie Sava Pool, leaving it properly armed to battle the elements as well as get along with its neighbors By AnnMarie Marano Photography by Tim Griffith The new Charlie Sava Pool faces south (above), opening the pool area up to plentiful daylight. The metal mullions that cover the glass walls are purposely arranged irregularly, so as not to look like bars on a prison. Architecturally, the building (left) also fits in well in its setting, mostly surrounded by one-story homes. Wooden slats cover acoustical material in the natatorium (opposite) and give the space a warmth in contrast to the concrete and metal. 82 contract june 2009 www.contractmagazine.com
