Project 9
– Pool Building and Landscaping
The clients of this property were looking to create a family-friendly outdoor space with a pool area, integrated water feature, and new bamboo fencing to achieve a private oasis in a suburban setting. Working closely with the clients, we selected silver travertine for the pool paving to ensure a clean and elegant finish, while dark quartz was used for the water feature to complement the surrounding design elements.
