Barton Creek Residence
Edge-less Pool and Pool Deck. Both also designed by the architect. The pool’s sharp angular corner and semi-curved triangular shape belies the pools functionality for use as a lap pool with its diagonal swim lane. Submerged on each end are straight vertical shelves extending vertically downward to the pool bottom that allows for kick-turns during laps. The edge-less design incorporates a continuous integral slot-drain, cut-stone paver edges and cut-stone copings extending down into the pool. The pavers extend onto the pool deck’s surrounding 2-tone cut-stone patterned surface. The interior surfaces of the pool are clad with a cool-toned multicolored blue/green quartz plaster surface. Several large and small patterns of pinhole lights are inlaid into the pool's bottom to shine upward and arranged to mimic various star constellations when viewed at night. A raised eight-person hot tub features an semi-circular edge-less shelf for water to overflow down into the pool.
