Expansive Traditional Swimming Pool Ideas and Designs
Land & Water DesignOur client lives on nine acres in Fairfax Station, VA; he requested our firm to create a master plan to include the following; Custom 3-car garage with apartment above, custom paver motor court for easier egress and ingress, more inviting front door entrance with the new smaller motor court with accent stone walls. The backyard was transformed into the ultimate outdoor living and entertaining area, which includes a large custom swimming pool with four gas fire bowl/water feature combo on stone pedestals, custom spa with Ipe pavilion, rain curtain water feature, wood burning stone fireplace as focal point. One of the most impressive features is the pool/guest house with an underground garage to store equipment, two custom Ipe pergolas flank both sides of the pool house, one side with an outdoor shower, and another sidebar area.
With six feet of grade change, we incorporated multiple Fieldstone retaining walls, stairs, outdoor lighting, sprinkler irrigation, and a full landscape plan.

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives - Delaware ValleyA gorgeous pool in Media PA is enhanced by a sophisticated outdoor lighting plan that includes a beautiful array of lighting choices.
Spectacular column lights, water feature lights, focal feature lights and uplighting in the trees beyond the pool area draw the eye and expand the visual space once the sun sets.
Creative EnvironmentsThis picture was taken by Master photographer, Alex Johnson. The yard design was done by Peter Koenig Designs in Alamo, the Hardscape and Soft scape were build and designed by Michael Tebb Landscape in Alamo and the Swimming Pool construction was done by Creative Environments in Alamo. What a great team effort by all that helped to create this wonder outdoor living space for our clients.

Without a doubt, this is one of those projects that has a bit of everything! In addition to the sun-shelf and lumbar jets in the pool, guests can enjoy a full outdoor shower and locker room connected to the outdoor kitchen. Modeled after the homeowner's favorite vacation spot in Cabo, the cabana-styled covered structure and kitchen with custom tiling offer plenty of bar seating and space for barbecuing year-round. A custom-fabricated water feature offers a soft background noise. The sunken fire pit with a gorgeous view of the valley sits just below the pool. It is surrounded by boulders for plenty of seating options. One dual-purpose retaining wall is a basalt slab staircase leading to our client's garden. Custom-designed for both form and function, this area of raised beds is nestled under glistening lights for a warm welcome.
Each piece of this resort, crafted with precision, comes together to create a stunning outdoor paradise! From the paver patio pool deck to the custom fire pit, this landscape will be a restful retreat for our client for years to come!

Premier Paradise, Inc.This project is an eclectic mix of sleek lines and unique materials. The project consists of 3 vessels. An upper infinity edge lap pool that flows over into the lower relax pool with glass tile lounge deck. Each pool is finished in PebbleTec french grey and accompanied by 3 massive cantilevered concrete water features with stainless steel spillways. The edgeless water detail on the back of the pool seamlessly integrates the landscape and vessel. This edgeless detail is also used on the in-pool island planter. The third vessel is an all glass tile perimeter overflow spa. Pentair equipment and paramount in-floor cleaning and lighting were used throughout the project.
