The Pool Loggia sits across the spa from the Master Bathroom; the three elements working together to create a beautiful "outdoor retreat", which reinforces the "estate feel" of the residence. Fronted by a quartet of Texas Limestone columns with understated detailing, it is generously sized to allow for ample soft seating, and includes a traditionally sculpted fireplace to warm the space on cooler Arizona winter nights. Additionally the Pool Loggia serves a a visual focal point for views from the main house, which is a time-honored feature of traditional Spanish Colonial site design.

This is a beautiful natural freeform pool and spa located in Dallas, TX. The big thing about this project that was unique was the trees. We were required to save all the trees. There are a lot of areas where the paving is not mortared together to allow moisture and air through to help the trees. There is a 6' elevation change that helps incorporate the boulders and waterfall into the hillside for a more natural look. There was an existing green house that was removed and the existing garage was turned it into a cabana/pool house with a covered area to relax in with furniture by the deep end of the pool. There is a big deep end for lots of activity along with a nice size shallow end for water sports, including basketball. The clients' wish list included a cave, slide, and waterfalls along with a firepit. The cave can comfortably sit 6 people and is cool in the hot Texas weather. We used pockets of plants around to soften things and break up all the rock to create a more natural look with the overall setting. A bridge was built between the pool and the spa to look like an illusion that the water is running from the pool down into the spa. 2013 APSP Region3 Bronze Award - Designed by Mike Farley.

This project located on an acre of land adjoining the fairway of a Sydney golf course was completed in three stages over nearly 5 years. The final stage culminated in the construction of the swimming pool, cabana and man cave (shed). The expansive family pool was installed on a mid-terrace 6 steps up from the home. On this terrace a sun lounging area and fire pit with floating hardwood bench were installed within the pool enclosure. Another six steps up from the pool we constructed a massive (8x5m) pool house fully provisioned with bathroom and kitchen. Behind the cabana our construction continued with the man cave, large enough to house 3 classic cars (14 x 7m). Photography: Peter Brennan
