This newly built estate showcases Modern Gable Architecture, blending contemporary design with natural textures to create a refined yet welcoming retreat. Thoughtfully positioned, the home and pool house embrace the pool area, offering a sense of privacy while seamlessly integrating with the forest-like backdrop beyond.
Designed for a young professional family with a passion for high design, the outdoor space mirrors the clean, intentional aesthetic of the home. The Pinnacle 40 fiberglass pool in Shimmer Sky sits as a centerpiece, its serene color palette complementing the home’s minimalist yet warm atmosphere. An automatic pool cover enhances both convenience and safety, maintaining the sleek, uncluttered look.
Every material was carefully selected to reflect a modern yet organic sensibility. The client opted for composite and porcelain materials that mimic natural textures, offering durability without compromising on aesthetics. The composite decking not only enhances the modern finish but also adds warmth to the space, creating a welcoming contrast against the clean architectural lines. The planting design follows suit—measured, structured, and rhythmic, with an emphasis on ornamental grasses that introduce movement and softness to the space.
Expansive glass openings in the main living areas frame uninterrupted views of the pool, reinforcing the seamless connection between indoors and out. With a balance of precision and natural flow, this project delivers an outdoor living experience that is both visually striking and effortlessly functional—a true reflection of modern luxury in a rural setting.
This backyard design was crafted for a young, active family, drawing inspiration from the serene beauty and vibrant lifestyle of the Mediterranean. The result is a resort-style retreat that blends modern elegance with coastal influences. The focal point of the design is the sleek Pinnacle 40 pool in Silver Grey, chosen for its clean lines and tranquil hue, reflecting the family’s connection to coastal living. Deck jets at each corner of the pool create a dynamic water feature, adding both luxury and a touch of playful energy when desired.
The homeowner designed and built a custom pool house that stands perfectly aligned with the pool and house axis, serving as the heart of the design. Inspired by coastal architectural styles, the pool house features a built-in kitchen, a cozy fireplace, and ample gathering and dining areas. Hidden at the rear is a discreet bathroom and storage space, seamlessly integrating functionality into the design. The pool house becomes a gathering hub for family and friends, designed for both relaxation and entertaining in a style that feels right at home in any coastal retreat.
The patio surfaces are paved with broom-finished concrete, chosen for its durability and modern appeal, while intentional breaks in the paving add a fluid, organic feel. The white-painted fence ties all elements together, enhancing the space’s cohesive, clean aesthetic. In the afternoon and evening, the pool reflects the sun’s golden light, spilling soft reflections into the house and creating a serene, sun-drenched atmosphere.
The design also includes a spacious grass area, perfect for outdoor play and family activities. This well-thought-out layout balances a luxurious, relaxing space with a functional area for fun.
