Signature build

The raised vanishing edge

The lot sloped away from the house, so we lifted the pool onto drilled piers instead of digging into the hill. Water spills over a knife-edge weir into a catch basin wrapped in iridescent glass tile, and the whole wall lights up at night. From the deck it reads as a sheet of water meeting the sky.

Edge: Knife-edge weir
Finish: Glass mosaic tile
Spa: Integrated spillover
Lighting: Color LED
