Towards the end of a long day, we stumbled upon this unfathomably terrible pool, which adjoins Villa Roces by architects Govaert & Vanhoutte. Why is it so little? So narrow? So dumb? Here’s the conversation we just had trying to figure all that out and more:

Adrian C. pretty wild

Joe that pool is huge

that girl is tiny

Adrian C. it’s a little kid

POOL HOUSE

Adrian C.

SEEE JOE

Joe yeah, OK

that pool sucks

great place to dump a body though

Andrew L. yeah that seems hella dangerous

Barrett at that point isn’t it just a shitty moat?

Leslie H. that pool’s too small!

Adrian C. i think someone should make fun of it

Brent R. that’s not a pool. it’s a clean moat.

Mario A. it’s way too small to be a moat

Mario A. who’s that going to keep out?

Adrian C. which is why brian said shitty moat

Leslie H. that house would be easy to break in

Brent R. oh. yes, he did.

Mario A. Not only do you live in a glass house, you have a shitty moat

Adrian C. IT’S A POOL

Adrian C. smaller pool=smaller heating bill!

Joe why even have a moat these days?

Leslie H. shitty moatpool

Joe you think the people with the all-glass house care about heating bills?

Brent R. maybe to keep out roaches and mice?

Leslie H. i bet so many birds are killed by that house

Adrian C. i like to think of it as a proof of concept for urban spaces

Leslie H. i’d take an anorexic pool like this in bk

Barrett you know what that skinny pool needs?

Barrett

Andrew L. maybe it’s to catch dead birds?

Mario A. Dear home owner, you don’t need a moat, but your moat is too small anyway

Andrew L. constantly flowing into a giant filter

Leslie H. haha id take any pool in bk

Joe exactly

Joe does it vibrate?

Adrian C. 🙁

Andrew L. so it’s an outdoors bathtub?

Joe BTW, climate in Bruges, where that home is: http://www.bruges.world-guides.com/bruges_…

Barrett also I think we should post this conversation

as our post of the skinny pool

Christopher M. ugh that house is in the most boring town in the world

Brent R. a pool that skinny can only encourage anorexia

Joe pervy pool

Michael H. ooh adrian, no you di’int

Christopher M. i actually luv that pool

Adrian C. it is not objectively the worst pool

Casey C. how long is that pool

THAT is objectively the worst pool

Michael H. i think if that moat expanded into a pool in the backyard, it would be awesome

Sam B. yo that little pool sucks

Jesus: are you kidding me? that pool is amazing
