Chronicled in “The Garden Book”
The pool and courtyard have inspired the couple to entertain much more in good weather, but they also use the outdoors up until Thanksgiving because the fireplace provides some warmth, especially with blankets and hot drinks in hand.
Infinity Pool With a View
Because we prefer not to create too much hardscape to an outdoor pool setting since it can easily end up looking overwhelming, we set up the design to have the paved courtyard serve as both the pool deck and general outdoor living space, yet still large enough to suit the outdoor entertaining desired.
