This backyard had a huge slope. In addition to the 4' tall raised bond beam, there was a 5' high retaining wall built to meet setback requirements. Amazingly beautiful natural stone facing from Wisconsin was meticulously laid to cover the massive raised bond beam, and bring a real warmth to this project. The large Grotto on the North side of the pool hides a beautifully landscaped barefoot garden with an oversized hammock. Matching stone slabs, also shipped from Wisconsin create a stairway from the flat area to the pathways traversing the garden slope.

This chic ground-floor integrated pool and spa gets brilliant natural light from the surrounding windows and looks out onto expansive grounds. The lighting is a key feature in this elegant pool hall, from the daylight to the 3x3w Wibre underwater lighting in the pool to the grand ceiling illumination, which can be adjusted to create different moods. The client has an inviting space where the family can exercise, have fun and relax. The pool is 13.5m x 4.20m. The shallow end is 1.5m in depth falling to 2m at the deep-end. The pool sports an Astral neck-jet water cannon on each side of the pool – these create strong waterfalls which are visually striking and fun to swim under. Steps on both sides of the spa lead into the pool. The 2.1m diameter spa accommodates five bathers, has an extended seatback and footwell – at seating level, the water depth is approximately 0.5 metres. Multiple jets deliver stimulating and soothing massages via standard air/water mix jets. The same bespoke tiling design runs throughout the spa and pool. Large format porcelain tiles in a travertine design were cut to mosaic size and affixed to a backing sheet. To give the tiling extra pizzazz, different shades of beige and brown tiles were combined. Completing the pool is an Ocea automatic slatted pool cover installed in a recess floor. The pool cover mechanism is hidden under a structural false floor panel, which is completely blended into the pool finish. The pool cover is a light beige colour, matching the client-designed pool surround which is made of bespoke porcelain tiles. The pool cover helps to minimise running and maintenance costs as well as providing added safety by closing-off the pool when it is not in use. When not in use, the spa is also closed-off using a Certikin Thermalux foam throw-on cover. There is an equally impressive plant room located directly beneath the pool.

Finding the perfect balance between modern and classic architectural design was key to this stunning outdoor living environment in The Woodlands, Texas. The more traditional elements are featured in the dark stained wood beams used for the pergola lining the length of the pool and the covered patio with outdoor kitchen. Contemporary elements were also used to complete this transitional backyard space. These include the half-moon shape of the attached spa and the light colored natural stone pool and patio decking used throughout the space. Even the decorative light fixture from Restoration Hardware was careful selected and effortlessly marries the two design looks. This luxurious lighting element is durable for the humid Houston weather and highlights the tongue-and-groove ceiling detailing of the covered outdoor patio. This ceiling also features a custom blue-gray wash further fusing this transitional space together. Adjacent to the multi-use entertaining and dining area is the outdoor kitchen with grill, Big Green Egg and more to create the perfect smoked brisket or family meal. Encompassing this exquisite covered patio and water shape is immaculate landscaping with stone walkways, rock paths and flower beds.

These homeowners are well known to our team as repeat clients and asked us to convert a dated deck overlooking their pool and the lake into an indoor/outdoor living space. A new footer foundation with tile floor was added to withstand the Indiana climate and to create an elegant aesthetic. The existing transom windows were raised and a collapsible glass wall with retractable screens was added to truly bring the outdoor space inside. Overhead heaters and ceiling fans now assist with climate control and a custom TV cabinet was built and installed utilizing motorized retractable hardware to hide the TV when not in use. As the exterior project was concluding we additionally removed 2 interior walls and french doors to a room to be converted to a game room. We removed a storage space under the stairs leading to the upper floor and installed contemporary stair tread and cable handrail for an updated modern look. The first floor living space is now open and entertainer friendly with uninterrupted flow from inside to outside and is simply stunning.
