When contemporary architecture demands an equally sophisticated outdoor companion, precision becomes poetry. The Fazio residence in Dallas challenged Selah to create a geometric sanctuary where water features orchestrate daily rhythm. Three 18-inch sheer descents provide cascading movement across the pool's angular form, while a 24'6" raised beam wall anchors the composition with architectural weight. The tanning ledge at varying depths creates graduated water experiences. Multiple entry points through carefully positioned steps accommodate different comfort levels. This complete outdoor environment proves that geometric pools balance visual drama with functional intimacy, transforming a Dallas outdoor living space into a contemporary retreat.
Tile & Glass Tile
Peerless Pebble French Grey plaster provides the pool's refined foundation, creating depth and luminosity throughout the 10,426-gallon basin. Fujiwa Tile Flora Beliz establishes the waterline canvas, while the raised spa features Aquabella Manhattan Series Union Square 2x3 tile for textural contrast. The 24'6" raised beam wall showcases Faber CNK Stone Tundra Grey Ledger Split Face Mosaic, bringing natural stone texture to the contemporary composition.
Spa & Lighting
NPT Empress Leather coping with double bullnose wall cap and single bullnose edges defines clean pool perimeters. The 23'6" finger ledge extends geometric lines into shallow water recreation. Two LED pool lights and one spa light transform angular forms into evening theater, while the UV+O3 system ensures crystal-clear water with minimal maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do sheer descents enhance a contemporary pool design?
Sheer descents create vertical water features that add kinetic energy and visual interest to geometric pool compositions. The Cooper project's dual eighteen-inch sheer descents provide cascading water movement that transforms the space from daytime recreation into illuminated evening theater. These features work particularly well with contemporary design because their clean, geometric water flow complements modern architectural lines. With integrated lighting, the water cascades become focal points after dark, extending the pool's visual impact throughout evening hours and enhancing the outdoor living space.
What makes a finger ledge different from a standard tanning ledge?
A finger ledge extends deeper into the pool's interior, creating an elongated shallow water platform that follows geometric lines rather than hugging the perimeter. The Fazio pool's 23'6" finger ledge projects into the main basin, offering submerged seating and lounging space while maintaining visual connection to deeper water. This design approach maximizes shallow water recreation without compromising architectural form. Unlike standard tanning ledges that occupy corner areas, finger ledges become integral design elements that enhance both function and geometric composition within the complete outdoor environment.
How does stone veneer on pool walls impact overall design?
Natural stone veneer transforms raised beam walls from structural necessities into architectural focal points. The Fazio residence showcases Faber CNK Stone Tundra Grey Ledger Split Face Mosaic on a 24'6" raised beam wall, bringing texture and depth to the contemporary composition while creating visual weight that anchors the geometric forms. Stone veneer also provides practical benefits including UV resistance and low maintenance. The material choice connects the pool environment to the home's exterior palette, creating design continuity across the complete outdoor environment.
What should Dallas homeowners consider with UV+O3 systems?
UV+O3 water treatment systems excel in Dallas's climate by reducing chemical dependence while maintaining crystal-clear water through intense Texas summers. The combined ultraviolet and ozone sanitization eliminates bacteria and algae without the harsh byproducts of traditional chlorine systems, creating gentler water for daily use. Dallas homeowners benefit from reduced chemical costs and maintenance time, while effectiveness remains consistent despite temperature fluctuations and heavy use during extended swimming seasons. The Fazio residence demonstrates how advanced water treatment integrates seamlessly into contemporary pool design.
How do multiple pool steps enhance accessibility and flow?
Strategic step placement at varying depths creates intuitive entry points that accommodate different comfort levels and swimming abilities. The Fazio pool features steps at depths ranging from nine inches to forty-two inches, allowing gradual acclimation to deeper water while providing multiple exit points for safety. Well-positioned steps maintain geometric integrity by following architectural lines rather than disrupting them. Pool benches at twenty-one and thirty-inch depths extend the stepped concept into comfortable seating zones, creating social gathering spaces throughout the water environment.
