Relaxing, Contemporary Pool Perfect for Entertaining

Contrasting themes between traditional and contemporary, light and dark, and geometric and organic makes the simple design compelling. The L-shaped swimming pool surrounds the raised deck, which is a perfect spot to relax and entertain. Key materials, like weathering steel, ipe wood and stone, are used throughout the space to create a unified backyard.

Rustic Yet Contemporary Home With Beautiful Landscaping

The goal for this rustic meets contemporary home is to create a cohesive design that unifies the entire space yet maintains the naturalistic environment. A pebble bed stream brings a soothing water feature to the outdoor space, while strategic plantings bring liveliness to the front yard.

Contemporary Meets Rustic Deck

Steel mixes with stone and wood for a rustic meets contemporary outdoor space. A sleek pergola provides shade over the raised deck, while streamlined stairs lead down to backyard and swimming pool area. Well-planned landscaping creates an organic yet sculptural design that seamlessly blends all the outdoor areas.

Contemporary Meets Rustic Backyard

This wooded retreat originally started as a small pool design but grew into an encompassing project that includes a L-shaped pool, hot tub, fire feature, water feature and raised deck with a pergola. With so many distinct areas, the goal was to create a cohesive design that unified the entire space yet maintained the naturalistic environment. An earthy palette combines with repetition of key materials, like weathering steel, ipe wood and stone.
