The Bukowski residence demonstrates how architectural precision serves family function. Their 14,971-gallon pool flows between 3'6" and 8' depths with purposeful restraint, creating comfortable zones for every family member. The raised beam wall at eighteen inches above grade defines clean geometry while concealing mechanical systems, maintaining uninterrupted sight lines across the outdoor living space. A custom spa elevated eighteen inches provides therapeutic retreat, connected by gentle spillover that adds kinetic energy to the composition. Dual fire bowls frame the experience with controlled drama.


Materials & Finishes
Pebble Cool Blue plaster creates rich aquamarine depths that shift with changing light throughout the day. Perla Grey Marble coping with straight edge provides architectural continuity, extending across raised beam walls in Ledgestone Panel format. Aquabella Seabreeze Series tile in SEAB TEAL 6 establishes clean waterline definition, while NPT ES-Imperial 1x1 porcelain marks the spa spillover with geometric precision.

Design & Features
The custom spa features six jets and dedicated LED lighting, elevated eighteen inches for visual prominence. An eighteen-inch sheer descent energizes the water surface, while dual Raven fire bowls anchor the composition with evening warmth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a raised beam wall enhance pool design?
A raised beam wall creates architectural definition while serving practical functions. In the Bukowski residence, the eighteen-inch raised beam establishes clean geometric lines and conceals mechanical equipment, maintaining uninterrupted sight lines across the outdoor living space. The Perla Grey Marble Ledgestone Panels on the raised beam provide textural contrast against the horizontal water plane, creating visual depth and material sophistication that elevates the complete outdoor environment beyond conventional pool construction.
What makes Pebble Cool Blue plaster distinctive?
Pebble Cool Blue plaster creates rich aquamarine depths that shift throughout the day as natural light changes angle and intensity. The aggregate finish provides visual texture and a tactile surface while maintaining the smooth swimming experience families expect. In the Bukowski pool, the Cool Blue plaster pairs with Aquabella SEAB TEAL 6 waterline tile to establish a cohesive color palette that complements the Perla Grey Marble coping and raised beam ledgestone panels, unifying every material surface across the complete outdoor environment.
How do fire bowls integrate with pool lighting design?
Fire bowls create controlled drama that transforms pool environments from daytime recreation into evening theater. The dual Raven fire bowls at the Bukowski residence are positioned to frame the pool composition, balancing flame against the geometric restraint of the raised beam architecture. Combined with dual LED pool lights and dedicated spa lighting, the Raven fire bowls establish multiple light sources that create depth and ambiance after dark, encouraging the Bukowski family to extend their use of the outdoor living space well into evening hours.
What automation features simplify pool maintenance?
The Bukowski residence features Fusion2 sanitization that maintains crystal-clear water with minimal chemical handling, while the Alpha IQ+ automated cleaner provides hands-free debris removal. The RS-PS6 control panel with variable speed remote allows complete system management from inside the home. Variable speed circulation pumps automatically adjust to seasonal requirements, reducing energy costs while maintaining optimal water quality. This integrated automation approach ensures the Bukowski family spends time enjoying their outdoor living space rather than maintaining it.
How does spa spillover enhance the pool experience?
Spa spillover creates visual continuity between the pool and custom spa while adding kinetic energy to the water composition. In the Bukowski design, the eighteen-inch elevated spa with NPT ES-Imperial 1x1 porcelain spillover tile creates gentle cascading water that energizes the pool surface below. The spillover provides soothing sound of moving water throughout the outdoor living space, transforming the geometric composition into a multisensory retreat that encourages both active recreation and quiet relaxation for every member of the family.
