The original pallet possessed incredible vistas, a lovely bay, amazing sunsets but also offered significant challenges. Dewatering, elevation issues, environmental requirements and limited access contributed to the difficulty of the project. The wish list of the client was extremely extensive but not impractical. A full depth pool with an in floor cleaning system, an automatic cover, laminar jets and very precise spa conditions. Ornate and vast hardscape was needed for extensive entertaining both day and night. The mingling of fire, water, light and color were a priority. Achieving all these desires while maintaining both impeccable quality and taste would be a challenge.
The pool design features a long lap lane, color changing LED lights, 4 laminar jets, and an automatic cover. The large entry steps and the full length bench are capped with custom finished New York State bluestone. The in-floor cleaning system, skimmers, main drains and all return fittings are perfectly matched in color to the plaster finish. A star light system in the pool floor lends great ambiance for all types of entertaining. The custom spa features a Kings chair with 4 back jets and special calf and foot jets, the Queens chair has 4 back jets. The entire interior of the spa is finished in a harmonious blend of bluestone and iridescent 1” x 1” glass tile.
A see through custom stone gas burning fireplace, adorns the deep end of the pool. The focal point of the hardscape, it features a 48” wide fire box, fountains, and a nautically themed centerpiece. The beautiful and grand patios compliment the pool. Custom stone coping matches perfectly with the mix of brick and stone that create the pool surround. Intricate steps, stone veneer and a custom drain system finish off this virtual masterpiece.
