Pool - transitional rectangular pool idea in Orange County

This small urban yard was transformed into a leisure sanctuary. A custom fence with mirrored panels adds a sense of space while blocking the view of the driveway. The pool, with underwater bench at the deep end, is finished in light gray Armourcoat with gray/blue tile and natural stone along the waterline. Three sheer descents along the back wall add glamour to the pool and spa. An equipment area in the garage allows for year round use of the spa. (14 x 20, custom rectangular)

Large gardens with multiple low natural rock landscaped beds, set off by a series of pergolas. A unique stele water feature is the stunning jewel in this expansive outdoor living area.

Inspiration for a large timeless white two-story brick house exterior remodel in Chicago with a hip roof and a shingle roof

Long lines and rectangles don't have to be boring or severe. Here, we see how site furnishings and plantings can be used to soften the edge of an other-wise austere space.

Note the privacy screening in this contemporary setting. It provides interest without being obtrusive. The dark wood complements the greens and golds in the landscape nicely.

Inspiration for a cottage courtyard concrete paver patio container garden remodel in San Luis Obispo

A perfect setting to dine with friends or unwind after a long day. The concrete patio steps down to pavers. The lush plantings are soothing and pleasing to the eye.

This young Toronto family wanted a showpiece backyard, so elected to build this very unique "perimeter overflow" zero edge pool. The surface of the pool is at the same level as the deck. Water on all four sides flows over the tiled one-foot-wide pool wall and is collected for re-circulation in a massive reservoir located below the deck. The pool's black Armorcoat interior and 2" spill wall tiles contrast beautifully with the Pennsylvania slate coping and deck. A stunning tribute to minimal design. (11 x 32, custom rectangular)
