Betz Pools Limited
At Betz we pride ourselves in rising to any design challenge whether it's a small yard, steep slope or conservation concerns. Although diminutive in size, this inviting 'plunge pool' makes a big impression with its dramatic zero-edge wall and top-of-slope location. Finished in white Armourcoat with a blue quartz fleck, it features both an underwater bench and semi-circular steps decoratively edged in tile. Wiarton flagstone decking and coping define the attractive seating area. (13 x 27, custom shape)

The main condition suggested by the owner for the design of this permanent home was to direct the views to the vast lagoon that is on the rear façade of the land.
To this end, we designed an inverted L layout, withdrawing the access to the house towards the center of the lot, allowing for wider perspectives at the rear of the lot and without limits to the environment.
Aligned on the front façade are the garages, study, toilet and service rooms: laundry, pantry, one bedroom, one bathroom and the barbecue area.
This geometry created a long path towards the entrance of the house, which was designed by combining vehicle and pedestrian access.
The social areas are organized from the access hall around an inner yard that integrates natural light to the different environments. The kitchen, the dining room, the gallery and the sitting room are aligned and overlooking the lagoon. The sitting room has a double height, incorporating the stairs over one of the sides of the inner yard and an in-out swimming pool that is joined to the lake visually and serves as separation from the master suite.
The upper floor is organized around the double-height space, also benefiting from the views of the environment, the inner yard and the garden. Its plan is made up of two full guest suites and a large study prepared for the owners’ work, also enjoying the best views of the lagoon, not just from its privileged location in height but also from its sides made of glass towards the exterior and towards the double height of the sitting room.
J. Montgomery Designs, Inc.
This client started with their home remodel and then hired us to create the exterior as an extension of the interior living space. The backyard was sloped and did not provide much flat area. We built a completely private inner courtyard with an over-sized entry door, tile patio, and a colorful custom water feature to create an intimate gathering space. The backyard redesign included a small pool with spa addition (pictured here), fireplace, shade structures and built in wall fountain.

The sights and sounds of this aquatic sanctuary prove that size doesn't matter. Working to preserve the homeowner's existing garden, this small pool was incorporated into a compact yard for big impact. Reminiscent of an informal English garden, the poolscape features the tranquil sounds of a bubbler rock waterfall. Rough-edged tumbled pavers decking and coping complete the natural look.

The first challenge was to retain a large weeping cypress tree located at the middle of the yard. The solution was to build a semi-circular stone wall around the tree which would provide a raised structure for the three sheer descent waterfalls and end up as the focal point of the yard.

With eye-pleasing symmetry, this small pool and accompanying spa fit easily into a small backyard. A deck in tumbled pavers, with subtle colouration, frames the pool to create an inviting retreat. The pool interior is finished in white Armorcoat with green slate tile edging and decoration on steps and spa seats. A corner privacy screen hides pool equipment and maintains the tranquil mood.

This shallow plunge pool enjoys a most impressive setting overlooking a prestigious private golf club near Collingwood. The visual focal point is a massive sheer descent waterfall spilling over a slab of solid granite, supported by a full-length tiled feature wall. An automated safety cover neatly retracts into a bunker behind the full-width entry steps. On the far end a full-width swim out bench allows easy access to the adjoining spa. The spacious flagstone deck and steps feature radiant heating, while the perimeter fence in tempered glass provides the final luxurious touch. (9 x 17, rectangular)

The client's came to us wanting a design that was going to open up their small backyard and give them somewhere for their family to enjoy and entertain for many years to come.
This project presented many technical challenges due to the levels required to comply with various building regulations. Clever adaptations such privacy screens, floating deck entry and hidden pool gate behind the raised feature wall were all design elements that make this project more suitable to the smaller area.
The main design feature that was a key to the functionality of this pool was the raised infinity edge, with the pool wall designed to comply with current pool barrier standards. With no pool fence between the pool and house the space appears more open with the noise of the water falling over the edge into a carefully concealed balance tank adding a very tranquil ambience to the outdoor area.
With the accompanying fire pit and sitting area, this space not only looks amazing but is functional all year round and the low maintenance fully automated pool cleaning system provides easy operation and maintenance.

This spa/pool has a shallow depth from 3 1/2 to 6 feet, so the water volume is small enough to be easily heated to 100 degrees F. Special wall construction allows for extra strength spa jets that throw streams of bubbles to the centre of the pool. (15 x 18 custom rectangular)

What a beautiful way to utilize a small Toronto yard. This custom pool has a lot of features despite its size. In the deep end there's a rock feature and waterfall which helps to mask street noise, while directly beneath a Badu swim jet facilitates lap swimming. In the shallow end a spillover spa features convenient Jandy controls on the deck. The pool's light gray Armorcoat interior softly contrasts with the surrounding Wiarton flagstone coping and deck. Near the house a cedar deck and cabana add the final touches, with room left for a custom dog run featuring pea gravel digging holes. (13 x 29, custom free form)

This small urban yard was transformed into a leisure sanctuary. A custom fence with mirrored panels adds a sense of space while blocking the view of the driveway. The pool, with underwater bench at the deep end, is finished in light gray Armourcoat with gray/blue tile and natural stone along the waterline. Three sheer descents along the back wall add glamour to the pool and spa. An equipment area in the garage allows for year round use of the spa. (14 x 20, custom rectangular)

This steeply sloping suburban Toronto yard has been transformed into a practical recreation area thanks to a massive rock retaining wall which supports the pool and surrounding "rock skins" architectural concrete deck. The blue granite liner and matching 11' radius Roman steps are beautifully defined by Wiarton flagstone coping. Strategically placed feature rocks and abundant mature plantings give this pool a "been there for years" feeling. (14 x 28, humpback kidney)

The steeply sloping lot of this home north of Toronto created structural support issues, so the Gunite pool shell also performs the job of a retaining wall. A 3" tempered glass wall along the deep end provides a "visual" zero edge, while in the shallow end a tanning shelf with umbrella and protective wall provides a wading area for the grand children. The pool's dark gray Armorcoat interior is surrounded by Wiarton flagstone coping and deck of architectural patterned concrete. The outdoor fireplace and cabana with change room and equipment room add a final touch of convenience. (16 x 28, custom rectangular)
