PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Created to complement this expansive waterfront estate, the pool mirrors the home’s clean symmetry and timeless architecture while preserving uninterrupted views of the water beyond. Every element was carefully considered to enhance the property rather than compete with it, resulting in an outdoor space that feels elegant, balanced, and inviting.
A long, rectangular pool anchors the backyard, accented by a custom geometric waterline tile that introduces texture and visual depth. A generous tanning ledge with in-water loungers creates a comfortable place to relax, while bubblers and subtle water features add movement without overwhelming the clean, architectural aesthetic.

Natural stone decking extends throughout the outdoor living space, connecting multiple seating areas and creating a seamless transition between the home, pool, and waterfront. Palm trees, manicured landscaping, and classic architectural details—including decorative lion sculptures and custom balustrades—reinforce the estate’s timeless character while softening the surrounding hardscape.
Positioned directly on the bay, the layout was designed to celebrate the property’s exceptional views while creating an outdoor environment equally suited for quiet mornings, family gatherings, or elegant entertaining.
The result is a backyard where classic architecture, premium materials, and waterfront living come together in a way that feels refined, timeless, and distinctly Florida.
