In Arlington, the Wilson family sought an outdoor living space where architectural precision meets natural tranquility—a space where water cascades through carefully carved layers and stone establishes enduring presence. The 9,586-gallon pool flows through depths of three and a half to five feet, creating distinct zones for swimming and relaxation. Twin eighteen-inch columns anchor the raised beam structure, their buff Lueders stone veneer extending visual weight throughout the design. The six-tiered spa spillover becomes the focal point, water descending through carved layers that catch and refract light as it moves toward the main basin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a six-tiered spa spillover create visual impact?
A six-tiered spillover transforms the custom spa from a simple basin into an architectural water feature, with each tier creating distinct water movement and sound as it cascades toward the main pool. The Wilson project demonstrates how these layered spillways catch and refract light throughout the day, creating visual depth and auditory serenity. The cascading water also adds kinetic energy to the complete outdoor environment, making the spa area a compelling focal point even when not in use.
What makes Noble Belaya tile suitable for pool applications?
Noble NPUR 645 Belaya tile offers a refined balance of subtle texture and sophisticated color variation, shifting from pearl to platinum tones as natural light changes throughout the day. This specific tile selection provides durability for constant water exposure while maintaining the polished aesthetic the Wilson family desired for their outdoor living space. The Belaya finish coordinates beautifully with buff Lueders limestone coping, creating a cohesive material palette that elevates the entire pool environment beyond typical residential installations.
Why choose buff Lueders stone for both coping and veneer?
Buff Lueders limestone provides exceptional durability and natural color variation that improves with age, making it ideal for both pool coping and architectural veneer applications. The Wilson project showcases how using the same stone family for coping, raised beam veneer, and column cladding creates visual continuity throughout the outdoor living space. The chipped edge treatment on the coping adds texture and character while maintaining the stone's natural integrity, ensuring decades of performance in both wet and dry conditions around the pool.
How do raised beams change a pool's architectural presence?
Seven-foot raised beams with twelve-inch elevation transform a pool from a simple basin into an architectural statement, creating vertical interest and establishing the outdoor living space as an extension of the home's design language. The Wilson project demonstrates how these structural elements frame views and define zones within the complete outdoor environment. When unified with matching buff Lueders stone veneer and supported by twin eighteen-inch columns, raised beams provide both visual weight and functional purpose, creating shadow patterns that shift throughout the day.
What equipment ensures reliable long-term pool operation?
The Wilson pool features a comprehensive system including a variable speed circulation pump, UV/O3 sanitizer with in-line chlorinator, 460 cartridge filter, and IQ904-P control panel with included remote for convenient operation. This equipment package provides energy-efficient circulation while maintaining optimal water quality with minimal maintenance. The Alpha IQ+ cleaner handles automated cleaning, while LED pool lighting provides energy-efficient illumination that extends evening enjoyment of the outdoor living space. Every component is selected for reliability in the Texas climate.
