01 / CUSTOM POOLS
A pool that belongs to the house.
Plunge pools, lap pools and places to float. The shape follows the way you want to use the water, the space you have and the views you want to keep.

DESIGN & BUILD
The pool.
The courtyard.

02 / POOL & COURTYARD RENOVATIONS
Make the most of what’s there.
Keep the parts that work. Reconsider how you step outside, where you sit and how the existing pool meets the house.
KEEP, REVIEW, REWORK
- Keep
- A sound shell, useful brick or a terrace that still works.
- Review
- The shell, equipment, levels and drainage before committing to a scope.
- Rework
- The entry, shade or deck edge that is keeping the courtyard from working.
THE MATERIAL LIBRARY
Three elements.
One quiet palette.
Read the edge, the water and the shade together. Every choice changes the next.
SAWN LIMESTONE
A soft edge. A clear line.
A broad stone coping gives the pool a readable outline and a comfortable place to pause. Its warm tone sits quietly beside green water.
Consider the edge where bare feet, water and the deck meet.
OLIVE CERAMIC
Depth, without the blue.
An olive finish catches the shade and the trees around it. The same surface can read pale on a shallow step and deeper across the pool.
View a finish sample under water and in the light your yard receives.
SMOKED CEDAR
Shade with some air in it.
A slatted screen gives a terrace privacy without closing off the garden. Warm timber makes a quiet counterpoint to the stone.
Plan what the screen should hide and which views should stay open.
BEFORE YOU START
Good questions
to ask first.
Can a compact yard take a pool?
A smaller footprint can leave room for a dry seat and a usable path. Access, grading, setbacks and the existing house still determine what can fit.
Can I renovate the courtyard and keep the pool?
That is a starting option. The shell, equipment and deck condition would need to be assessed before deciding what can stay.
How much would a pool cost?
Costs depend on the site, access, shell, materials and scope around the water. A useful estimate follows a site assessment and an agreed scope.
Can I start without a survey or a finished design?
Yes. Start with the town, the kind of project and what you want the yard to do. Any survey or existing plan can inform later design work.
