Project Details -
We wanted to keep the Oaks Trees. The simple tree circle transitions from the
house to the rectangular diving pool. The planter pedestals were on the family room
and front doors sightlines also helping the step transitions the grade change. The
walls, masonry blends with the home because the same masonry crew was used.
We supplied the precast balustrades for the cabana so they would match the railing
for the upper lawn terrace. The balustrades screened the more natural landscaped
area from the heavily landscape zone by the house. The diving board, balustrades,
pavers and house stone all blend together and contrast with the dark reflective
perimeter overflow. The Versailles Travertine pattern pavers were used to cap the
covered porches and the cabana floor to further unify the space. The corner spa
gives visibility of the cabana and the cabana fireplace. It also helps the rectangular
pool transition the angled cabana and game room porch together. The whole pool
structure was built on piers with void boxes to minimize the soil movement
from affecting the precise perimeter overflow feature. The vanishing edge tank was
placed halfway down the 8 foot drop with a patio so you could enjoy the visual
corner of water reflecting the house lighting or sunset glow on the black reflective
surface. The large turf area provides additional gathering space and softens the
transition to the rest of the property. The pool, landscape and home has created
the space the owner loves to share with others for all the family and friends
gatherings.
