Description
With over 200 lineal feet of perimeter overflow beam, precision is the key to success on this project. Each piece of Lueder limestone coping had to be cut and set with perfection, so as to not interrupt the glass-like properties of the water.
This modern L-shaped lap pool features squared off Lueder limestone coping and a separate matching spa, both with a perimeter overflow feature, clad in the same Lueder limestone. A wall, running the length of the pool, and 4’ tall, frames the pool and provides a great place for a unique water feature. The wall features a series of scuppers that are spaced progressively further apart from left to right. This layout directs the user’s eyes along the wall and the pool, and helps highlight the linear nature of the house. The water noise also changes as the user moves along the pool from left to right
In keeping with the Hill Country Modern feel of the home, all of the decking, walls, and coping on this project are Lueder limestone, or concrete, colored to match the Lueders. This creates a singular color foundation, which then allows the blue of the water and the green of the landscape to truly take center stage. The spa is positioned to the side of the pool, set closer to the home gym, for ease of access.
