West Granby With a View

This design was based on capturing the fantastic view the property has and incorporating the infinity edge pool into the slope.  The client entertains large parties so having a lot of patio space was important.  The large patio spaces around the pool are balanced by lawn areas for overflow and softened by plantings. 

The biggest asset to this property was also the biggest challenge.  In order to address the large drop off the pool sits on, we terraced the hill with three big retaining walls made with boulders.  It was a bit of a challenge to fit the large excavator between the brand new pool and the cliff in order to reach the areas where the walls needed to be built.

The covered area contains a sitting area in front of a fire place, a full kitchen and a bar overlooking the view beyond the pool.  The structure has a knotty pine ceiling and a paver inlay in the floor.

We used our lighting demonstration kit to show the customer how dramatic the area could look at night and he felt it was an obvious choice to have us install it.
