from the deleted bread
I dug on the video of the Vanderbuilt pool and located a great site Palaces for the People.
and discovered the Tile work was done by Guastavino Tile. and searching images for that name has given some great images.. digging for the blue tile pool

interesting tile work for sure
a different pic of the rope pool
me too. i had thought maybe NOT a pool, and just a large bath-room or something similar, with a drain and tile.
i really like the Guastavino name, seems rich people pay big $$$ for this company to do tilework. i found a russian who paid a TON to install a pool in his basement, but no pics…
