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. By drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean and Adriatic coasts, this backyard transforms into a vibrant, functional oasis that offers both tranquility and activity.
