This client worked with her landscape architect to design an enchanting space with a Soake Pool as the focal point. Her backyard gets magical filtered light, and the waterfall provides gentle sound to mask the sound of cars or neighbors.

Material Masterpiece Great clients with great vision. The best of Selah Pools & Custom Outdoor Environments starts with our client's willingness to participate in the design process as we build their custom dream. Ultra-Luxe design is found in the details. Each hand cut & placed dry stack stone in this scene, from their outdoor kitchen to the booted patio extension column, throughout the raised spa, the water feature wall, and the fire bowl columns are placed for depth & dimensional effect. The 1x1 glass tile forming the spa spillway attracts the waterfall like a magnet to deliver a gentle edgeless connection to the swimming pool. With carefully cut & placed tile match on the "rolled beam" of the spa interior, the entire spa scene gleams with intent as it delivers smooth, restful comfort. Completing the scene with an expansive pool deck color matched to bring it all together and leaving plenty of room for sports, play & relaxation delivers the total residential dream oasis.

Our client's rectangular concrete swimming pool, complete with soft pool lighting and a large sun shelf entry, is stunning at sunset! Dual fire features mimic the sky's fading light, while gentle uplighting highlights a line of birch trees at the edge of the property. Pebbled hardscaping is mixed with natural bluestone coping and pavers in a geometric pattern. Metal patio furniture and oversized, crisp red umbrellas add a slightly modern touch to offset wicker patio furniture elsewhere on the pool deck. Photo: Dave Coppola Photography

Phoenicia Buff pavers were selected for the infinity pool decking and applied in a random rectangular pattern. Ornamental grasses and hydrangeas peek out between the curved natural stone retaining walls and gently soften this hardscape. Neil Landino

The landscape steps from the house towards the lake via a series of terraces. All walls are kept orthogonal to maintain the formal language of the rear façade. The upper terrace is spacious, versatile, and features ample room for entertainment, while the lower terrace and plunge pool integrates comfortably into the lawn’s gentle slope.

Challenge: Can you create intimacy in an open 1.5 acre space? Solved: The long, clean lines of this exemplar of modernist landscape architecture are punctuated by multiple strategically separated seating and lounge areas. Here clusters of friends can gather, see and be seen, and soak in the outdoors without intruding on one another’s conversations. The focal point of this linear expanse—a 6-foot-tall stucco wall—is pierced by a broad peek-a-boo window beneath which three hand-crafted copper spouts gently spill falls of water into the main pool. The pool itself, capped with a 4″ purple band set in travertine marble combines with the fire pit nook, spa, and outdoor kitchen/dining area features to elevate this gorgeous new construction well above neighborhood standards.

This rectangular, sun-drenched pool area is flawlessly integrated into the vast, open landscape, offering a feeling of luxurious escape. The design features a clean-lined pool with an elegant water feature that adds a gentle, soothing ambiance. An adjacent raised, square spa, clad in warm-toned natural stone, provides the ultimate spot for year-round indulgence and relaxation. The expansive, light-colored decking defines the outdoor living space, thoughtfully sectioning areas for activity. Central to the lounge area is a square fire pit, also finished in coordinating stone, perfect for evening gatherings. Comfort is paramount, with elegant, suspended cantilever umbrellas providing shade for the tanning loungers, while a row of classic wooden rocking chairs lines the perimeter, offering a picturesque spot to take in the unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside. This design beautifully balances modern amenities with the tranquility of a rustic setting.
