With this customized poolscape, the ultimate gathering space is only steps away. While the expansive free-form pool is stunning in its own right, the coordinated entertaining areas elevate this backyard into a family-friendly oasis. This poolscape was designed to maximize every area so guests can seamlessly flow between spaces for relaxing, sunbathing, swimming, and yard games. A modern firepit with sparkling glass boasts comfy lounge chairs, while a nearby sun shelf offers a place to cool off. The turf and miniature putting green are effortlessly incorporated into the poolscape, with wide coping offering a perimeter walkway. Guests taking advantage of the secondary pool shelf can easily cheer on the nearby round of cornhole. Each vignette is mindfully balanced and serves as an extension from the homeโs main living areas. Thoughtful material choices, such as contrasting pavers and a cobblestone pathway, tie this haven together.
