This contemporary-style poolscape, complete with minimalistic design and clean lines, allows for seamless views of Chickamauga Lake. Light travertine tile not only keeps the deck cool in this poolscape but also allows the surrounding views to pop vibrantly. At the head of the pool, a large, square spa spills over onto a generous sun shelf. Two bubblers on the sun shelf add another lively element for swimmers to enjoy. Continuing around the pool, a rich blue tile accents the perimeter alongside a luxurious pebble finish and LED lights for a show-stopping transition from day to night. More custom details ensure the poolside views take center stage. Glass paneling provides an unobstructed view of the lake and gives the pool a luxurious infinity-style aesthetic, while an automatic pool cover helps retain heat to keep the pool comfortable year-round. Close by, two underwater stools are built into the pool for guests to lounge and fully enjoy the lush surrounding views.
