The clean, sharp lines of the large, 5.5- x 11-m (18- x 36-ft) rectangular pool and the sheer water feature instantly catch the eye in this luxurious backyard in Richmond Hill, Ont.
A steel spill-over spa with a custom tanning ledge is a natural extension of the sleek design and installation by Pool Craft. The pool’s Blue Terrazzo liner provides a sharp yet soothing contrast against the grey Blu Grande smooth patio stone. The water feature is constructed out of a 152.5-mm (6-in.) block with natural stone ledgerock on the front, along with Banas Jet Black 305-mm (12-in.) coping stone with a rock-face edge to match the pool and spa. A custom cabana, which stands atop an engineered concrete slab, boasts black-trim details and two expansive 3.5- x 2.05-m (11.5- x 6.75-ft) Ostaco glass doors which seamlessly connect the interior and exterior spaces. This ultra-modern structure is equipped with a full kitchen, a barbecue server, a washroom (with a shower), and a lounge area complemented by a fireplace.
