This Toronto couple wanted a good sized pool, patio and lawn area for entertaining friends and family recreation. Since the backyard slopes gently front to back, Betz created a symmetrical design to function on four levels. The focal point is a 16’ x 36’ Gunite pool with the deep end next to the house. You can just walk out and dive into the pool.

Dive into a whimsical aquatic escape where deep ocean blues meet warm, sun-kissed terracotta accents, bringing the refreshing ambiance of a luxury resort swimming pool into a playful bedroom theme. Overhead, a sleek oval LED halo evokes the soft glow of a sunlit water's surface, while vertical vertical string partitions and vertical slats create the illusion of rippling waves and cascading water currents. Custom built-in bunk features incorporate deep marine blue tones alongside sandy orange stair steps and cozy recessed nooks, mimicking poolside cabanas and lounge decks. Playful geometric wallpaper and organic wave patterns along the upholstered headboard echo coastal textures, merging aquatic serenity with imaginative comfort.

Custom cabinets painted in Sherwin Williams, "Deep Sea Dive" adorn the hard working combined laundry and mud room. The encaustic cement tile does overtime in durability and theatrics.

Swimming pool built to mimic an old fashioned water hole - desert style - with large format tile - 2' x 4' - to look like steel to blend with architecture of the home. Pool is an all-tile pool with four kinds of tile - large format to look like steel, river pebbles on floor and walls, wood planking style tile on steps to match IPE wood on deck and jumping platform and glass tile for color. Pool is 10' deep throughout.

The classic architecture of the house, with authentic leaded glass windows, provides an elegant backdrop for the pool and its sleek perimeter overflow island spa. The cluster of chaise lounges across the deep end, backed by a soldier-like row of columnar cedars, makes you swear you’re at a villa in the Italian countryside.

This challenging site near Wolf Trap had an existing swimming pool at the end of the property. With twelve feet of grade change across the backyard, our landscape design dilemma was; how to connect the new pool with the house, create lots of living space, and still get people to the landscape below. The entire rear of the house was renovated, giving us an opportunity to build a new composite multi-level deck. We crafted a covered living space under the deck and sunroom.

This project was designed by Giuseppe Abbrancati and installed by Gappsi for a private residence in Southampton, NY. The over sized lazy L-shaped gunite swimming pool is built in line with the house's diagonal angles, complementing the modern look of the multi-level home. Each side of the swimming pool makes for perfect view from all the windows in the house. Gunite swimming pools, besides being very beautiful, are also very functional and can include many different features. This pool includes a large sundeck with 12 inches of water for chairs and benches in the shallow area. An elevated spa was also added in the center of the sundeck with a spill over on all four sides. LED lights were also added throughout the pool, and the pool surface consists of Diamond Brite Tahoe Blue quartz finish. The edge of the pool was finished with bluestone coping and waterline porcelain tiles, and the pool was fitted with a saltwater chlorine generator system and a propane gas heater. The surrounding of the pool was completed with a patio to compliment the swimming pool layout, and was built with limestone natural pavers. Laminar deck jet water features were placed around the pool creating a park-like effect in the day, and at night, a stream of light travels through the water spilling in the swimming pool. The deep end of the gunite swimming pool is regulation for diving with an 8-foot gray colored diving board and a flight deck base. The rest of the backyard was completed with sod and tree installation. project, designed, Giuseppe, Abbrancati, installed, Gappsi, private, residence, Southampton, NY. oversized, lazy L-shaped, gunite, swimming, pool, built, diagonal, angles, complementing, modern, look, multi-level, home, perfect, view, windows, beautiful, functional, features, large, sundeck, water, chairs, benches, shallow, area, spa, sundeck, spill over, four sides, LED, lights, surface, Diamond, Brite, Tahoe, Blue, quartz, finish, bluestone, coping, waterline, porcelain, tiles, saltwater, chlorine, generator, system, propane, gas, heater, patio, limestone, natural, pavers, Laminar, deck, jet, water, features, placed, around, park-like, effect, night, stream, spilling, regulation, diving, 8-foot, gray, colored, diving board, flight, deck, base, backyard, completed, sod, tree, installation.

This challenging site near Wolf Trap had an existing swimming pool at the end of the property. With twelve feet of grade change across the backyard, our landscape design dilemma was; how to connect the new pool with the house, create lots of living space, and still get people to the landscape below. The entire rear of the house was renovated, giving us an opportunity to build a new composite multi-level deck. We crafted a covered living space under the deck and sunroom.
