Trasformazione Extraordinare
This contemporary home featured a style reminiscent of Richard Meier. This was a renovation, as the pool prior had an artificial rock that used to belong to a penguin exhibit in a zoo. The pool was being upgraded along with the house.
We put in an iron wood tree in the pool and moved the fake rock water fall. This
converted the pool to a lautner overflow, which brings the water flush with the floor of the backyard and makes the pool into a perfect mirror to reflect the iron wood tree.
The west facing backyard was blasted by the sun, so added two additional iron wood trees to filter out the light. The white wall behind the trees hide the portal spa -- creating a secret destination. The outdoor kitchen cabana bookends the architecture space to close the space and make it feel complete --- previously the space was a gaze looking out to the tennis court.
We brought the granite slabs from the kitchen out to the pool to create the water floating feature that has 8 foot long stainless steel spillway, creating a perfect shade of glass in the reflection pool.
