Project story

The design.

A long rectangular pool runs out from the house toward the garden wall. The attached spa sits at the near end, close to the sliding doors, with a broad concrete patio along the water.

Lawn borders the deck and planted gravel beds follow the stone boundary wall. A small fountain rises from the pool. The project also includes masonry and an outdoor kitchen; the pool and spa keep the center of the patio open to the sky and surrounding mountain views.
