The Legendary Rockstar Pool Build — A Backyard Concert Venue and Custom Swimming Pool
The Rockstar Pool is one of the most ambitious, imaginative, and large-scale residential pool builds ever completed by Legendary Escapes. Designed and built by Al Curtis, this project was created for a homeowner whose entire life revolves around performance, music, and living boldly.
This is far more than a swimming pool.
It is a backyard concert venue, a sculpted grotto, a hot tub, a swim-up bar, a VIP lounge, a performance platform, and a fully engineered artistic environment built as a single cohesive experience.
A Client With a True Rockstar Life
The homeowner’s request was simple in spirit but extraordinary in scale: create a pool environment that matched a life centered on creativity and performance. His background includes jousting at the Michigan Renaissance Festival, on-stage theatrical work, a home rebuilt around music and entertainment, and longstanding connections within the rock world. With a 16-acre horse farm and a passion for bold design, he needed a pool that reflected his personality.
His project requirements included a grotto, waterfall, hot tub, swim-up bar, performance area, and multiple lounging zones. Every feature had to feel original, dramatic, and purposeful.
The Design Vision
Designer and builder Al Curtis immediately recognized that this build needed to be expansive, theatrical, and seamlessly integrated into the landscape. The pool needed to make a statement without obstructing panoramic views of the surrounding farm and open sky.
The spark for the design came from an unexpected source: steel grates salvaged from an old carnival tilt-a-whirl ride. This inspired the concept of a floating performance stage built over the pool. What began as a small idea quickly grew into a large-scale platform complete with a concrete stage, integrated lighting, waterfalls, backstage areas, and custom metalwork. As the stage expanded, so did the pool, the patio, and the entire environment—ultimately transforming the backyard into a private amphitheater.
Repurposed Materials Used as Art
Legendary Escapes is known for incorporating reclaimed materials into artistic, sculptural pool environments. This project includes an extraordinary collection of repurposed components:
Tilt-a-whirl steel used as the main stage structure
Carnival flooring panels transformed into large fire-feature guitars
Trumpet and trombone bells refitted as lighting fixtures
Reclaimed street lamps custom-painted for poolside lighting
3D-printed album covers used as illuminated wall panels
Concrete replicas of Marshall speakers integrated under the stage
Every material was selected to bring character, history, and energy to the space.
Artistic Features and Highlights
The Rockstar Pool includes numerous custom artistic elements, such as:
A ten-foot mosaic “album cover” inset into the pool floor
Eight-foot sculpted guitars along the fence line
Guitar-shaped fire features
Backlit album panels positioned just above the water
A “Rockstar” sign paired with sculpted concrete amplifier towers
A VIP seating area built from restored tilt-a-whirl ride cars
Every corner of the environment contains layered artistic details.
Engineering Challenges and Solutions
Creating a fully functional concert stage over the deep end of the pool required extensive planning and engineering. Key complexities included:
Designing a safe, weight-bearing steel and concrete stage structure
Adjusting stage elevation mid-build to achieve optimal height
Installing three complete filtration systems concealed beneath the stage
Applying ecoFinish throughout the pool, spa, and grotto
Rebuilding existing decking and integrating a three-story observation tower
Ensuring the massive pool structure preserved the property’s sightlines
The technical demands of this project were matched only by the creative vision behind it.
The Legendary Team
This build was completed by a multi-generational team of craftsmen and artists, including:
Al Curtis – Designer and builder
Jesse Curtis – Project manager and construction artist
Mark Curtis – Filtration systems and plumbing
Annie Curtis – Stonework and water features
Karen Olson – Tile, stonework, and patio murals
Frank DiPiazza – Structural construction and decking
Brendan Schafer – On-site support and maintenance
dbaker designs – Custom mosaic creation
Daren Baker – Custom metal guitars and lighting elements
Each contributor played a critical role in shaping the final environment.
A Client Who Trusted the Process
As with many Legendary Escapes projects, this build evolved organically. The homeowner provided inspiration and trust, allowing the team to respond to the evolving environment. Several features—including the guitar fence, fire elements, and VIP seating area—were conceived and built during the process as the design revealed new opportunities.
The Final Result
The Rockstar Pool is now a fully functional concert venue, swimming pool, artistic installation, and outdoor living space. It is dramatic, expressive, engineered with care, and truly one-of-a-kind. This project reflects the homeowner’s personality and passion, and stands as one of the most ambitious designs ever produced by Legendary Escapes.

This Chicago luxury kitchen renovation was designed to bring structure, flow, and elevated daily living into one fully integrated space. The project features a custom waterfall island, full-height cabinetry, integrated appliances, statement metal ceiling detail, and carefully planned lighting that defines the heart of the home.
A key architectural element of the project is the residential elevator, seamlessly integrated into the kitchen and circulation layout without disrupting the visual balance of the space. This required early structural coordination, precise sequencing, and alignment across trades long before finishes were installed.
The result is a modern kitchen that combines function, accessibility, and strong architectural presence. Every detail was designed to support how the home is lived in while maintaining a clean, timeless aesthetic built to endure.

The homeowners needed a meaningful focal point in their living room that elegantly integrated a large television while adding much-needed storage and architectural character. An empty wall offered no organization and lacked the warmth they desired.
We designed and fabricated this extensive, floor-to-ceiling built-in entertainment unit using rich, dark-stained hardwood. The design balances symmetric closed storage (for clutter and AV equipment) with open shelving for personalized display. The centerpiece is the custom, smooth-arched media nook, which frames the screen and features integrated wiring access, making the TV look right at home. Precision crown molding ties the unit into the existing ceiling for a truly bespoke, seamless integration.
Craftsmanship Details:
Traditional Craftsman-style paneling and crown molding
Adjustable solid wood shelving
Symmetric upper cubbies and lower cabinets for organized storage
Bespoke arched TV framing (smooth finish)
Hidden cable management for a clean finish

Integrated Black MatrixArt handle lighting adds a sophisticated touch, enhancing both form and function.
The worktops feature 20mm Silestone Coral Clay complemented by Chalet Oak for a luxurious yet durable surface.
State-of-the-art NEFF appliances were incorporated to maximise efficiency and convenience. These include a Slide&Hide single oven, a combination microwave, a vented induction hob with an integrated extractor, a fridge freezer, a dishwasher, and a wine cooler.
This kitchen is equipped with a Blanco Etagon under-mounted sink in Tartufo paired with a Quooker Flex tap in Gunmetal, which provides instant boiling, chilled still, and sparkling water.
Clever lighting solutions elevate the space, including a Nolte remote-controlled colour-changing light system and integrated lighting for open and glass wall units. The tall units extend to the ceiling with a goalpost niche, while Nolte floating shelves and a matching panel for the TV create a cohesive feature wall.
The Quickstep Muse Laminate-Stained Concrete flooring enhances the kitchen’s contemporary vibe while offering durability.
Every detail of this kitchen was thoughtfully designed and meticulously project-managed to bring our client’s vision to life. Transform your kitchen today—contact us to discuss your dream kitchen!
