What are the dimensions of the spool and where is the equipment hidden? - I love this space and I think I could make something similar fit in my small backyard. Thank you. »

Prideaux Design Thank you! The spool is approx. 15'x10' - the equipment is hidden in a walled off area right outside of the wall - sunken a bit.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
The pool is technically called a "spool" — a small pool and a large spa combined into one. It can be kept cool for swimming, or warmed up to use with jets on colder nights. "The design centers on the idea that the walls of the pool become the backbone of the other two spaces," she says. Local pottery was filled with Agave weberi and loose pebbles for a casual effect.
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Lay of the Landscape: Southwestern Garden Style
Turquoise water, blue and orange walls and a bright red pot highlight the pool area. With sand and tan prominent in the house and the hardscape, these accents add a sense of fun and whimsy to the space.
