Pool - contemporary pool idea

The new covered patio area was designed in a large, functional layout to accommodate seating for hosted family gatherings and outdoor BBQs. The built-in outdoor kitchen was designed in Blue Nile polished granite with a two-tier peninsula for maximum seating and weather-resistant stainless steel drawers, cabinets and appliances.

This retaining wall design is inspired by our Raffinato Wall. The smooth look of the Raffinato collection brings modern elegance to your tailored spaces. The 90mm high and 180mm high versions are packaged separately, allowing for a modular or completely linear design. This contemporary double-sided retaining wall is offered in an array of modern colors. This wall can be used to retain earth against erosion, create raised patios or subtly separate spaces with a blade wall. Raffinato is part of the dry cast collection.

The improvements to this backyard did not end with the patio cover. Archadeck of Austin took this project a step further by improving the flow and tranquility of the homeowner’s backyard pool by unifying the addition from the top of the stairs behind the pool. We made sure to match the flagstone we used for this integration to the existing flagstone original to the area. The whole area now flows together as one, fun and relaxing outdoor room!

From a diagonal aerial perspective, this photo zeroes in on the lounge area adjacent to the pool. Modern pavers separated by artificial turf lead the eye toward the home's clean white exterior. The spa, pool steps, and shallow tanning shelf create distinct relaxation zones in a thoughtfully segmented outdoor layout.

This elegant modern residence shines under the evening sky, blending sophisticated architecture with a welcoming outdoor lifestyle. Crisp white walls, expansive glass doors, and a flat, spacious backyard frame the centerpiece—a stunning illuminated swimming pool that invites both relaxation and entertainment. The seamless indoor-outdoor design extends open-concept living spaces onto a wide poolside patio, ideal for alfresco dining or gathering around the glowing water feature. Carefully positioned lighting highlights the clean lines of the architecture while adding warmth and ambiance to the night view. Perfectly balancing contemporary elegance with coastal charm, this exterior remodel showcases the pinnacle of modern luxury living. Every detail, from the backyard layout to the curated outdoor furnishings, was thoughtfully crafted to elevate comfort and style. This home exemplifies high-end exterior design, ideal for those seeking a dream home that merges beauty, functionality, and a vibrant outdoor experience.

From foundation pour to welcome home pours, we loved every step of this residential design. This home takes the term “bringing the outdoors in” to a whole new level! The patio retreats, firepit, and poolside lounge areas allow generous entertaining space for a variety of activities. Coming inside, no outdoor view is obstructed and a color palette of golds, blues, and neutrals brings it all inside. From the dramatic vaulted ceiling to wainscoting accents, no detail was missed. The master suite is exquisite, exuding nothing short of luxury from every angle. We even brought luxury and functionality to the laundry room featuring a barn door entry, island for convenient folding, tiled walls for wet/dry hanging, and custom corner workspace – all anchored with fabulous hexagon tile.
