The basement pool at Rose Hill is 50 feet long and broad enough for two lap lanes, with a wide tile deck of at least five feet on all sides, for emergency access with a stretcher. Behind the pool, a 17-foot-tall mosaic of 1-inch glazed porcelain tiles is modeled on the oversized goddess-of-light wall art behind the Christmas Tree at 30 Rockefeller Center.
