Ranch Modern
The project
A rectilinear pool with a raised rear wall and slot overflow, green glass tile, a steel cantilever cabana with kitchen and a stained-concrete terrace on ranch acreage.
Set in a ranch landscape with a modern house, the pool holds a simple rectangle: a raised wall at the back with a slot overflow, a green glass tile interior that reads as river water from above, and an integrated spa and tanning ledge. A dramatic steel cantilever cabana carries the kitchen and bar. Stained concrete terraces and a pale coping keep the palette to the colours of the land around it.
