This dark blue all tile interior pool features the use of tiered elevation levels with seamless transitions. The first elevation transition is a set of six steps, which gets the owner to a patio that is three feet above the pool. Additional steps down either side of the pool get bathers to pool level. The patio on the left of the pool is dropped 18 below pool beam to help with the grades. Three additional steps bring you to an intermediate catch pool complete with jets for therapy. The waters final destination is the lower catch pool; a full twelve feet lower than the patio at the house. The patio on the right of the pool incorporates a large cabana that provides a great get away, featuring a fireplace, television, bar and complete cooking facilities. In order to accomplish these transitions, there are over 500 square feet of walls, and planters. Lights are located at all step locations for safety.
