The homeowners wanted to keep all the trees and create a symmetrical pool. He wanted symmetry but not a boring rectangle and she wanted pretty. The curved back wall was to flow with the trees, help avoid trees and maximize the space. The Black Pebble and dark tile were chosen to be more reflective and organic. The spa was round to provide better access off the porch. The vanishing edge effect also brought the reflection of the trees into the home, raised 18" gave great access and a wonderful focal point. The yard grade could not be modified with the trees so the pool drop beam minimized the wall requirements and provided an excellent seat to watch the golf course. A second wall kept the grade to a maximum of 24" drop and connected to the existing wall that we kept. Flanking both sides of the spa were tanning ledges for many to relax, accented by LED gushers. Copper firebowls and spill edges framed the view. Project designed by Mike Farley. Photo by Mike Farley.

Building a Dream Backyard When this homeowner started the design process of a new backyard, Braen Supply was immediately there to supply all the stone materials. The home was part of a new development, so the challenge was to make the home stand out while still addressing specific areas of the existing backyard, such as the steep grade. Working With the Experts Taking the steep grade into consideration, moss rock boulders were selected to create stairs down to the lower area of the backyard where the fire pit sits. The grade of the backyard also allowed for the infinity pool, full color bluestone pattern was selected as the veneer for the back wall of the infinity pool. Braen Supply chose Tennessee gray and bluestone to create a seamless transition from the front of the house to the back of the house. Although they are two different stones, they work nicely together to complete the overall design and tone of the home. It all came together and made the perfect backyard. Materials Used: Belgium Blocks Full Color Bluestone Pattern Bluestone Caps Tennessee Gray Irregular Moss Rock Boulders Full Color Bluestone Irregular Kearney Stone Steps Granite Mosaic Veneer Completed Areas: Front Walkway & Porch Driveway Edging Backyard Walkways Pool Patio & Coping Pool Water Features Fireplace Hearth & Mantal Wading Pool Raised Hot Tub

Rising amidst the grand homes of North Howe Street, this stately house has more than 6,600 SF. In total, the home has seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms and three powder rooms. Designed with an extra-wide floor plan (21'-2"), achieved through side-yard relief, and an attached garage achieved through rear-yard relief, it is a truly unique home in a truly stunning environment. The centerpiece of the home is its dramatic, 11-foot-diameter circular stair that ascends four floors from the lower level to the roof decks where panoramic windows (and views) infuse the staircase and lower levels with natural light. Public areas include classically-proportioned living and dining rooms, designed in an open-plan concept with architectural distinction enabling them to function individually. A gourmet, eat-in kitchen opens to the home's great room and rear gardens and is connected via its own staircase to the lower level family room, mud room and attached 2-1/2 car, heated garage. The second floor is a dedicated master floor, accessed by the main stair or the home's elevator. Features include a groin-vaulted ceiling; attached sun-room; private balcony; lavishly appointed master bath; tremendous closet space, including a 120 SF walk-in closet, and; an en-suite office. Four family bedrooms and three bathrooms are located on the third floor. This home was sold early in its construction process. Nathan Kirkman

It was very important to our client for the pool and patio area to feel like an extension of their home. To incorporate this request into their design we engineered the pool wall to support the new patio columns and roof. The selection of finish materials was critical to creating a seamless transition between their indoor and outdoor living environment. The amazing views and natural surroundings were the perfect backdrop for the staggering 46 of vanishing edge. The work area was very intimidating with a 2:1 slope which creates many unique challenges. Extreme care had to be taken to protect the homes located downhill from the work area while all of the construction materials were transported 300 up the steep incline. At times a human chain passed building materials hand-to-hand because the slope was too step to safely operate equipment. The pool, spa and vanishing edges are locked into the hillside with a combination of piers and a keyway footing. Our structural & geotechnical engineer tested the soils on site and made 5 visits to the jobsite during construction to ensure that all site conditions were addressed. The outdoor patio area was lowered 2 below the pool to preserve the view of the lake and add to the illusion of the pool flowing down to the water below. While working to create a structurally sound vanishing edge pool and spa on a 26 degree slope there were some difficult plumbing needs that had to be met. The home owner requested the swimming pool equipment be located close to the house to avoid being seen when they entertain guests. On most jobsites this is an easy request to provide but this was not a typical construction site. This project required a 4 deep vault to ensure efficient operation of the hydraulic system for the equipment which is located uphill from the pool. Another challenge for our plumbing crew was to have the remote spa with a vanishing edge utilize equalized plumbing with the pool. The vanishing edge of the pool and spa had to match perfectly despite being located 30 apart. The pool and spa both incorporate a Paramount PCC2000 cleaning system. This project is a testament to what can be accomplished by a team of dedicated engineers, designers, contractors and craftsmen. Team work and education are the keys to success.
