The homeowner worked with The Pool Specialists to transform his previously tiny pool into a new lap pool that is a replica of his pool in California. He wanted the longest lap pool he could fit into the restricted space dictated by size requirements from Ladue. Construction required the homeowner to build a concrete wall as well as fill in a lot of land in order to get a flat piece of landscape for the pool. The west wall serves as a water fountain.

"The sky blue watercolor is framed in by Valders coping and a crystal blue waterline tile in this pool and hot tub combo. To take advantage of the yard's existing topography there is a raised fire pit patio that allows a 6-foot-wide water feature to be built into a raised wall and spill into the pool." —Drew Bradshaw, designer at The Pool Specialists, Inc.
