Another design feature that has
become increasingly popular is a
zero edge pool. "The traditional sixinch water level drop from the pool
deck is disappearing in newer luxury
homes. The water level is now flush
with the decking to give the feel of an
infinity pool," explains Sultana.
Designing your dream pool offers
unlimited possibilities. You can have
a pool reflecting the spectacular
beauty of a pristine lagoon, or a pool
reminiscent of an ancient Roman
spa with remarkable architectural
backdrops. Pool finishes can be
enhanced with treatments that
resonate as works of environmental
art. This might include a builtin pebble-top or shell treatment,
composed of a shimmering seashell
blend to heighten the glitter of
sunlight in your pool by day, and a
glow from reflecting pool lights at
night.
