Looking for a property with a peaceful, inviting outdoor space, the homeowners were immediately taken by their home’s outdoor area. “The pool’s unique shape, lush landscaping and soothing fountain created a serene atmosphere that felt like a retreat,” says Sarah, the homeowner. “It also beautifully echoed the blue and green tones we envisioned throughout our home, creating a seamless visual connection between the indoors and out.”

    The previous homeowners originally installed the quatrefoil-shaped pool. Four connecting foils elevate the symmetrical design by creating a shape similar to a four-leaf clover or four-petaled flower. Four inward-facing fountains and two entry and exit points complete the layout. “We learned it (the pool) had been designed and built by SunTan pools, whose craftsmanship brought a distinctive elegance to the space,” says Sarah. Not only providing design expertise, SunTan Pools also maintains the pool to ensure it is performing and looking its best. 

    When it came to furnishing the space, Sarah knew she wanted a mix of modern and eclectic to make it feel like theirs. “We updated the area with a curated mix of contemporary pieces from CB2 and Williams Sonoma,” she mentions. “We love blending modern elements with subtle traditional touches to create a space that feels fresh yet timeless.” Comfortable, wide lounge chairs circle the pool, complete with white cushions and black outdoor pillows. A long outdoor dining table with an umbrella provides an additional gathering space, and carefully trimmed hedges and blooming hydrangeas add greenery to the paved areas. 

    “Although the design is still evolving, it has quickly become a favorite place to unwind and entertain,” says Sarah. “Looking ahead, we plan to continue layering in more plantings, furnishings and playful additions like a volleyball net and a basketball hoop to make the space even more dynamic and welcoming.”
