Description
1. What was it about this project that required an unusual level of quality workmanship?The location and zip code alone required perfection and nothing less that the finest quality workmanship was acceptable. High end finishes including imported glass tile, pressed stone aggregate coping, custom sandblasted depth and no dive markers, flush mounted fittings/channel drains, custom handrails, and blended dark plaster finish required exceptional attention to detail and installation.
2. Describe the aesthetic appeal of this entire project.
As you enter the roof of the 12th floor of the building you are simply awestruck with the unobstructed views of the city and mountain range beyond. The pool, spa, and landscape tie seamlessly together and create a very inviting and relaxing environment. The water level is flush with the deck and provides great reflections of the sky and surrounding space with the dark colored Diamond Brite finish. One can simply lose track of time, melting into the spa, taking in the atmosphere on a lounge chair, relaxing in the cabanas or roasting marshmallows in the fire pit.
3. Why do you think this project forced you to an unusual level of creativity?
The swimming pool and spa is a perimeter overflow type w/ hidden gutter in which the water flows over the top of the coping thru a ½” slot into a concrete formed gutter below. There are two rows of coping, one being wet and the other dry. The dry coping rests on ¼” thick marine grade stainless steel plates anchored to the pool structure and conceals the gutter below. The detailing and engineering of this slot edge was a first for our company and took many hours of creative planning to achieve this effect.
