Set amidst towering trees and surrounded by the lake, this private peninsula had amazing views already built in.

The clients wanted to incorporate a pool and patio area with an English Country/Natural type theme to mesh with their home. They also wanted to have some privacy without obstructing the existing views, while maintaining a large open green space for outdoor games and activities.

The pool and terrace are located off to one side of the main viewing area from the home. This enabled unobstructed views of the lake from the house and created a large open space they hoped for. We utilized natural stone walls, steps and flagstone which maintains their selected theme and matches building materials of the home.

We also incorporated a low stone wall along the south side of the pool adjacent to the lake. This wall provided the clients and guests with absolute privacy while swimming, from passing boaters, but also allowed wide open viewing of the lake while sitting and entertaining. The cabana incorporates stone pillars, change facilities, equipment storage and a private outdoor shower. The pool area is surrounded by flowering shrubs and perennial beds which help to maintain the theme and soften the iron fencing. Soft lighting provides users with a safe and dramatic outdoor space.
