The pool in the house "New Star" serves as a kind of teleportation portal, with the help of which you can instantly transfer thousands of kilometers from St. Petersburg. The blue water of the pool is reminiscent of the shallows of the lagoon, and the sculptural image of the shark, which forms the basis of the bar, makes the association even more specific. Despite the fact that the shark and the floor are lined with the same blue and white mosaic, they do not merge with each other due to carefully selected lighting. Light acts as a sculptor, isolating volumetric details in space. The end wall of the pool is also decorated with the help of lighting design: eight powerful lamps create a grid of blue directed rays on its surface.
