Our pool designers will ask you if you are looking for a geometric or freeform pool. A geometric pool can be a great fit for a modern décor, and a freeform pool can be combined with hardscape to create your own backyard oasis. Some homeowners are really looking for that WOW factor, and invest in a show-stopping infinity, or negative edge pool. Infinity pools are especially popular among beach cities, such as San Diego, since they can be especially dramatic when poised over a coastal view. A pool is a powerful outdoor focal point, and becomes an instant center of get-togethers and social activity. Many homeowners are interested in learning about different water features options that can really bring their pool to life. Water features such as water bowls, water spouts, fountains, waterfalls and water jets can all make wonderful additions to your new pool.

The dry stacked stone is incorporated with the water features, spa, and columns of the outdoor living. The tear dropped spa seats 6 and has a rolled edge with glass tile.

While this client is not on the road, he loves to cook for his family and closest friends. This is why this kitchen has the top of the line modern appliances, gas cooktop, and a whole back up pantry storage around the corner with full size refrigerator, freezer, and a wine fridge. Client asked us for a sleek and functional kitchen that has a dual purpose: it acts as an every day kitchen for the family, and it can be closed off from the areas of the house with hidden doors to become a catering kitchen for the parties. In lieu of traditional hood and pendants, we designed an incredible stainless steel hood that supports cantilevered structure with LED panel providing functional lighting over the island. This design was inspired by a fashion runway show catwalk and this kitchen certainly is a show stage for culinary excellence. The sleek design allows you to move around the kitchen without protruding catching handles. The doors and drawers incorporate state of the art technology allowing for simple tap or push on the surface for the cabinetry to open. This is especially useful when your hands have food on them when you’re cooking as you are able to use your knee or thigh to activate doors to open. Even refrigerator and freezer have a fully integrated hidden custom pull handle that looks like a vertical reveal – this allows for good grip to pull the heavy doors with suction, and the white acrylic panels are very easy to keep clean. Positions of two sinks on the island were specifically placed in the locations to facilitate the steps in food preparation - having them both on a single working surface makes it easier to work between them without dropping food or dripping water on the floors while preparing for cooking. Island incorporates a tall counter to sit at for a quick bite or just to stand around with you friends as you are preparing a meal. . This island truly is the heart of the kitchen and the heart of this home. Photography: Craig Denis

White and blue activate the auspicious chi of this living room and so they are the dominant colors. The pops of warm color aren't enough to weaken the blue and white activations, but they bring balance visually and energetically. We love how this painting by a local artist, @carriemeganart, captures the serene yet cheery mood of the space. We used some of our favorite fabrics for the pillows: Schumacher Chenonceau in coral, and Lotus Garden in green/blue and coral. A Williams Sonoma yellow bird vase offers a teaser of the living room from the hallway. And the yellow vase call to the yellow Schumacher "Hellene" wallpaper from the foyer. The live edge coffee table brings in a modern element, along with the English rolled arm sofas and navy lamps.

A description of the homeowners and space from Linnzy, the Presidential Pools, Spas & Patio designer who worked on this project: "The homeowners can be described as an active family of three boys. They tend to host family and friends and wanted a space that could fill their large backyard and yet be functional for the kids and adults. The contemporary straight lines of the pool match the interior of the house giving them a resort feel in the very own backyard! The large pergola is a perfect area to cool off in the shade while enjoying a large outdoor kitchen as well as an oversized fire pit for the cooler nights and roasting marshmallows. They wanted a wow factor as the pool is the main focal point from the living room, and the oversized wall and rain sheer did the trick!"

This design incorporated many activities into a small area! The clients asked for 2 veggie beds, a chicken coop, a tree house, a lawn for the kids to play on, a fountain, a fire pit sitting area, a dining area, an outdoor kitchen with heat, and lots of fruit trees! All combining modern chic with rustic Lebanese styling!

The spa seat runs along one side of the 14’ length to allow space for aquatic activities on the other side. The seat faces the nearby cabana, enabling bathers to feel like they’re near the action. When the jets are not operating the calming sounds of water tumbling from the scupper helps to set a relaxing tone.
