Natural Setting - Pool 1

NSPI Region III - 2003 Design Award Winner
NSPI International 2002 Technical Achievement Award Winner

This pool will take your breath away! Innovative design and expert construction create an international award winner on a hillside, over-looking the bayou. To construct this 913 square foot pool (48’ X 24’ X 18’, 3.5’ to 8’ deep), Texas Pools excavated approximately six feet deep to construct the platform for the pool. After the piers were positioned, a 4 foot thick shelf was constructed to tie them together. The pool was built above this foundation, and moss rock boulders were set in place by a crane to surround a 4 foot raised spa.

And that’s not even the half of it! A large waterfall sits on each side of the negative edge, and contains plant pockets to soften the falls and embrace the nature. Sunken decks and elevated decks work together to visually associate the landscape and the house with the pool. It’s slate-stone decking coupled with the formal balustrade, transition the formal look of the house to the natural look of the pool. Overall, construction of this pool took nearly a year and a half to build, and all of this was completed before the homeowners had even broken ground on the home.
