This large canopy ensures you can enjoy the poolside without a worry about the heat. Beneath the shade, cozy seating and lounging areas await, inviting you to unwind with refreshing beverages or indulge in your favorite summer reads. A highlight of this backyard retreat is the large balcony door that opens up from the house, offering a breathtaking view of the pool from the inside. Whether you're lounging indoors or entertaining guests, this feature effortlessly connects the indoors with the outdoors, creating a seamless and harmonious living experience. As you admire the beautiful interplay of water, sunlight, and shade, the ambiance of the backyard sets a tranquil tone, inviting you to unwind and escape the stresses of everyday life. The gentle sound of water rippling in the pool adds a soothing touch, lulling you into a state of relaxation as you bask in the serene atmosphere. With its mid-size pool, welcoming exit steps, cooling brown shade, and seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, this backyard becomes an idyllic haven that offers the perfect balance of leisure and tranquility. It's a place where cherished memories are made, and moments with family and friends are shared, creating a slice of paradise in the comfort of your own home.

Photography by Patrick Ray With a footprint of just 450 square feet, this micro residence embodies minimalism and elegance through efficiency. Particular attention was paid to creating spaces that support multiple functions as well as innovative storage solutions. A mezzanine-level sleeping space looks down over the multi-use kitchen/living/dining space as well out to multiple view corridors on the site. To create a expansive feel, the lower living space utilizes a bifold door to maximize indoor-outdoor connectivity, opening to the patio, endless lap pool, and Boulder open space beyond. The home sits on a ¾ acre lot within the city limits and has over 100 trees, shrubs and grasses, providing privacy and meditation space. This compact home contains a fully-equipped kitchen, ¾ bath, office, sleeping loft and a subgrade storage area as well as detached carport.

This elegant backyard graces the Canadian summer home of a US based professional hockey player. His wife is also an athlete at the international level, so the demands of continuous training makes owning a backyard pool and spa a wellness essential. You can only imagine the endless energy of their three young boys!

At this pool’s deep end a custom-hued natural stone diving rock was built in two tiers to provide easy access for little divers. The adjoining underwater swim out bench is handy, especially when repeat attempts are needed to perfect technique. This arrangement provides endless hours of fun!
