Contemporary Green Pool Design Ideas

interesting fence - lynda_heap

The brief for this large garden, was to transform an existing old swimming pool and update the garden spaces around it, bringing it up to date with the contemporary architecture of the house. The feature of the garden is undoubtably the magnificent Jacaranda that is incorporated into the design with a simple timber deck flush with the pool coping. Dark turquoise pool tiles show the tree beautifully reflected. Simple green boundary planting with dark coloured perimeter fencing create a soft moody palette. The addition of a Dragon Tree at the end completes the composition. A generous undercover entertaining area is located off the house with built in BBQ at one end. The success of this family garden design, pool and entertaining area is due to the careful selection of and minimal use of surfaces and materials so that the existing tree and pool shine.
Example of dark colour - nice coping pavers that spil over edge in straight lines with dark waterine tiles. Decking surrounds. - dan_bernstone

This beautiful pool in Miami Florida features one of a kind landscaping with spa and wet edge! The tile for the pool and spa are beautiful teal colors and the LED lights add extra flavor at night!

This property has a wonderful juxtaposition of modern and traditional elements, which are unified by a natural planting scheme. Although the house is traditional, the client desired some contemporary elements, enabling us to introduce rusted steel fences and arbors, black granite for the barbeque counter, and black African slate for the main terrace. An existing brick retaining wall was saved and forms the backdrop for a long fountain with two stone water sources. Almost an acre in size, the property has several destinations. A winding set of steps takes the visitor up the hill to a redwood hot tub, set in a deck amongst walls and stone pillars, overlooking the property. Another winding path takes the visitor to the arbor at the end of the property, furnished with Emu chaises, with relaxing views back to the house, and easy access to the adjacent vegetable garden.

A description of the homeowners and space from Linnzy, the Presidential Pools, Spas & Patio designer who worked on this project: "The homeowners can be described as an active family of three boys. They tend to host family and friends and wanted a space that could fill their large backyard and yet be functional for the kids and adults. The contemporary straight lines of the pool match the interior of the house giving them a resort feel in the very own backyard! The large pergola is a perfect area to cool off in the shade while enjoying a large outdoor kitchen as well as an oversized fire pit for the cooler nights and roasting marshmallows. They wanted a wow factor as the pool is the main focal point from the living room, and the oversized wall and rain sheer did the trick!"
