The design strategy was for Al Curtis to begin designing a pool that would fit into the grand scope of this expansive back yard – with the homeowners’ voice in the back of his mind saying what would you do if you could do anything in this yard? His only wish list was a lazy river, and hers was a super long waterslide. As long as those two items were incorporated, the rest of the yard was a blank slate. The pool grew to the largest residential pool our team has built to date, incorporating a vinyl liner pool into the footprint, wrapped by a lazy river created with shotcrete flowing through a grotto, and a lower pool with a 25′ waterslide. The pool also features a sunshelf, coated in ecoFinish, a bridge over the grotto entrance, a swim in cave/grotto area. The lazy river is powered by three Endless pool units. In his unique way, Curtis begins designing and building the pool in his head- estimating he builds it 100 times from the underground up before he ever puts pencil to paper. He draws the pools in the same way he did when he began his career nearly thirty years ago, by hand, with a pencil and triangular architectural scale ruler 1″=10′. Once he has a design he likes, he’ll hand color with watercolor markers. This is the entire plan the customer sees before they make the decision and give the project it’ go ahead.

This room was all about making it up to the younger son! By that I mean his brother has the killer view. Given that he’s into the outdoors as much as his parents, we decided to bring the outdoors in to him and ordered up a 10’ cedar tree and configured a custom hammock to hang from it. He also got the trap door in this closet, but I think you already know about that!
