Facing an expansive green belt, there was great opportunity to blur the property’s landscape into a natural, borrowed setting. Our client requested a contemporary remodel of their outdated pool and landscape to compliment their newly renovated interiors. The existing pool and raised spa were transformed into a simpler shape with a 12-foot spa spillway flowing into the pool. The designer chose a dark plaster to reflect the canopies of the mature oaks on the property, while a dark porcelain spa tile contrasts with a custom reconstructed stone concrete pool deck. On one end of the pool, a floating, linear fire table with Ipe deck offers an entertaining lounge space. A massing of ornamental grass, intended to capture the natural light of the sun, connects the space to a second ipe deck on the opposite end of the pool, leading to an outdoor grill under a steel and wood arbor. The Paola Lenti outdoor furniture was carefully curated to compliment the surroundings. Planting is kept soft and natural.
