The homeowners desired a luxurious backyard in which they could relax with friends and family. We designed and installed a rectangular pool which includes four deck jets, a quartzite patio, fieldstone walls with a built-in water feature, an extra-large ground-mounted umbrella, and landscape lighting for ambience. Quartzite was selected for the patio both for it’s interesting appearance and its ability to stay cooler in direct sunlight than other natural stone materials. In conjunction with the landscaping, we coordinated with the homeowners and the architect in the installation of the cabana. The deck was pre-existing and not part of the design.

Our Porch leads directly to our patio and Plunge Pool. We designed the Plunge Pool, which is 10' x 18', to become an integral part of this outdoor room. The Patio visually extends the rectangular elements of the house to create a unified outdoor space, that feels as much a part of the house as it does the landscape. The Porch is situated behind the Kitchen, and of the far end of the Porch, it leads to a mahogany deck around the corner. The five windows in the corner of the Kitchen make it convenient to pass food and dishes through, when entertaining. Photo by Glen Grayson, AIA

With its oriental plantings, privacy screens and raised activity areas, this poolscape brings the serenity of a Japanese garden to mind - exactly as the homeowner intended. The rectangular pool is finished in grey Armorcoat with porcelain tile edging and Indiana limestone coping and decking. Two sheer descent waterfalls, illuminated fibre-optically at night, cascade gracefully from the elevated natural stone corner walls to complete this appealing tableau. (18 x 36, rectangular)
