Houston has started to whisper warmth, giving us a glimpse into what we can expect in spring and summer. There has never been a better moment to start a new project that exudes sophistication and elegance. This month’s pool features a stunning example of contemporary design where beauty and functionality coexist.
Located in the center of Houston, this pool is more than simply a spot to cool down; it is a well-designed space that seamlessly combines modern design with the beauty of nature. This pool transforms outdoor life by offering a haven for peaceful times and exciting parties.
A Symphony of Textures and Tones
In stark contrast to the surrounding natural splendor, the pool’s rectangular form gives it a contemporary appearance. On a sweltering day, the inviting appearance of the water results from the light interior finish. The warm undertone of the travertine decking creates a seamless transition between the patio and the pool, creating a unified outdoor living area. A raised wall, built with the same brick as the home’s exterior, connects the pool to the house. This detail creates a sense of unity, making the pool a natural part of the property.
Water Features: A Feast for the Senses
We have five brown and bronze sconces placed along the raised wall. They are a tremendous centerpiece on the raised wall, adding a touch of drama and peace. Imagine the soothing sound of the running water as you enjoy the cool embrace on a muggy day; it gives a nod to the peace of nature. The visual and aural emphasis improves this pool’s ambiance, creating a tranquil retreat. Perfect for conversing, resting, or just taking in silence, the soft murmur of the water enhances the peaceful setting.
Landscaping: The Crowning Touch
The landscaping, designed in partnership with Hogue Landscaping, complements the pool’s clean lines and natural materials. There are existing oak trees that were heavily considered in the design of the pool and landscape. One provides shade for the large 13′ x 5′ spa, a perfect spot for 8 – 10 people to relax. Another oak tree provides shade for part of the travertine decking, proving an ideal poolside meditation spot. The placement of these trees makes the pool more functional and beautiful. The lush greenery adds privacy and peace, making the backyard feel like an oasis.
A Space for Every Mood
This pool serves as a place to live and swim. Whether you are trying to escape the scorching heat of Houston, find a quiet area to meditate or enjoy time with family and friends, this pool has something for everyone. It is a place for relaxation, entertainment, and reflection. It is a well-designed space where organic elements, modern design, and careful details combine to create a timeless sanctuary.
