Fratantoni Design / Residential ArchitectsThis incredible backyard retreat boasts a pool and spa, arches, wall sconces, cupolas, and natural stone flooring, which we can't get enough of.
Halper Architects LLCThe house is located in Conyers Farm, a residential development, known for its’ grand estates and polo fields. Although the site is just over 10 acres, due to wetlands and conservation areas only 3 acres adjacent to Upper Cross Road could be developed for the house. These restrictions, along with building setbacks led to the linear planning of the house. To maintain a larger back yard, the garage wing was ‘cranked’ towards the street. The bent wing hinged at the three-story turret, reinforces the rambling character and suggests a sense of enclosure around the entry drive court.
Designed in the tradition of late nineteenth-century American country houses. The house has a variety of living spaces, each distinct in shape and orientation. Porches with Greek Doric columns, relaxed plan, juxtaposed masses and shingle-style exterior details all contribute to the elegant “country house” character.

Mike Farley Pool Designer, SWD, ASLAThe Lightness vs Darkness theme carries throughout this project including never used materials and details to create this transitional gem in FlowerMound, TX. The axis and cross axis have stunning water and fire feature elements in the asymmetrical design. The black precise stacked slate spillway provides sound and visual effects and contrasts with the fire line burner visible from everywhere inside. This draws you out to enjoy the pool, and a lot more. The pool offered great places to hang out with the tanning ledge and built in bar stools and lots of room for the game of volleyball. The cross axis from the master bedroom draws the eye across the pool, through the black all tile vanishing edge spa, splitting the dual cabanas, through the fire pit, to gaze on the "Dark Planet" starburst light. The cabanas were divided into entertainment and dining. The graphite air slate, from Spain, covered the entertainment floating center and the cooking counter. Ivory Travertine in a stack bond pattern accented the cabanas, porch, fire pit and key areas blending with the coping and some veneers. The cabana steel roof matched the front home entry roof and helps unify the existing home with the additions. Details were important down the lighted and tiled vanishing edge channel for the spa. This project is one to be enjoyed any day of the week but it really is the shiny star every night. Project designed by Mike Farley. Photos by Mike & Laura Farley.
CBI Design Professionals, Inc.This pool room is part of a second phase addition to this already wonderful home. The original house had been carefully designed to take advantage of its rural setting including views of a water area, nature preserve, and woods. In order to maintain these views while providing a large indoor room for the pool, the project required a unique and difficult concept to be executed. We decided to place the pool room at the basement level where no views would be disturbed. In order to accomplish this, the pool itself was excavated below existing foundation walls requiring substantial shoring and engineering work. The roof of the pool room is a combination of cast-in-place concrete vaults and concrete plank, forming a patio surface and lawn area above. A unique skylight in this lawn area floods the below-grade room with wonderful day lighting. The end result actually enhances the views from the home by providing an elevated stone patio overlooking the ponds and nature preserve. The pool room also enjoys this view as well. We believe the final result of the project shows a very well integrated design which overcame substantial engineering challenges to form a highly functional and well designed solution.
