The project

Estate aquatic environment in West Lake Hills, Texas.

An estate-scale infinity pool with a sunken lounge, fire bowls on the vanishing edge, a pergola-covered spa terrace and a circular motor-court fountain at the front of the house.

Two water features bracket this estate. At the entry, a circular stone-rimmed fountain centres the motor court. Behind the house, a long infinity-edge pool runs the width of the terrace and drops away to a Hill Country view, with a sunken conversation lounge cut into the water, fire bowls punctuating the edge wall and a raised spa under a steel pergola. Pale large-format paving and an uninterrupted lawn keep the composition quiet so the water does the work.
