Bauer Falls was given the task of breathing new life into this 30-year-old pool. With the vision of creating a gathering place for family and friends, they began by removing bricks, breaking up concrete, removing stumps and adding new technology into the previous space. The addition of updated hardscapes truly took the pool to a new level. By developing the perfect balance between pool space and sitting areas, guests are now drawn closer to the pool and able to be immersed in the plants and seating areas that have been so meticulously created.

"My favorite thing about this project is being part of the history. Getting to work near a mansion that’s over 110 years old is a treasure in itself, in a world where everyone is looking for something new, it’s rewarding to design around a structure that has stood the test of time. Now, with an updated pool, paver patio, waterfalls, stone benches and walkways, this historical structure has walked right into the 21st century". —Caleb Bauer, Bauer Falls.
