When contemporary architecture meets family-centered design, the ordinary outdoor space transforms into a daily sanctuary. The Schrubb residence embraces Hurst's suburban tranquility with geometric precision that serves multiple generations. The 14,078-gallon pool commands its setting through deliberate proportions and clean lines, creating distinct zones for varied moods throughout the day. Three 18-inch sheer descents punctuate the composition with movement and sound, while the tanning ledge at nine inches provides shallow-water lounging. Built-in steps and bench integrate seamlessly into the pool structure, maintaining architectural clarity. This complete outdoor environment responds to North Texas climate with salt system efficiency and auto-fill convenience.
Pebble Plaster & Cool-Deck Surfacing
Burlington Blanco travertine coping frames the composition with 1.25-inch eased edges, its natural texture flowing around the geometric perimeter. Caribbean Blue Peerless Pebble plaster creates a luminous foundation that shifts from deep azure to brilliant turquoise with changing light. Noble Wave Azul porcelain tile defines interior zones with sophisticated color depth, while Bianco Ledgestone veneer wraps vertical surfaces with architectural presence.
Lighting & Bubblers
Morning Fog spray deck surfacing provides comfortable barefoot circulation, its neutral tone allowing the water's Caribbean blue to command attention. Three 18-inch sheer descents animate the surface with cascading movement, their precise spacing creating rhythmic sound patterns. Pool steps at multiple depths and an integrated bench maintain the geometric vocabulary throughout.

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 Caribbean Blue Peerless Pebble ideal for geometric pools?
Caribbean Blue Peerless Pebble provides exceptional color depth and durability that complements contemporary design aesthetics. This premium pebble finish shifts from deep azure to brilliant turquoise depending on light conditions and viewing angles, adding visual interest to clean geometric forms. The natural variation in pebble texture creates subtle surface interest without competing with architectural lines. Combined with the salt system used in the Schrubb project, this finish maintains vibrant color while providing the comfort and longevity families expect from their investment.
How does a tanning ledge function in a family pool design?
A tanning ledge at nine inches deep provides versatile shallow water space that serves multiple family needs throughout the day. Children can play safely in minimal water depth, while adults lounge comfortably with chairs or simply relax in the shallow warmth. The Schrubb residence positions the tanning ledge to maximize sun exposure while integrating seamlessly with pool steps and bench seating. This creates natural gathering spaces encouraging social interaction while maintaining the clean architectural lines essential to contemporary geometric design. It is one of the most requested features among Selah's clients.
What should Hurst homeowners consider when adding pool automation?
North Texas climate demands make automation systems particularly valuable for extending swimming seasons and simplifying maintenance. The Schrubb project includes a salt system for water treatment and auto-fill capability, reducing chemical handling while maintaining consistent water levels despite evaporation. Hurst's suburban setting accommodates comprehensive automation without neighborhood restrictions. The pool heater extends comfortable swimming into cooler months, while automated systems maintain water quality with minimal daily attention. These features prove especially beneficial for busy families who want to maximize enjoyment of their outdoor living space.
How is lighting integrated into contemporary pool design?
LED lighting in contemporary pools should enhance architectural forms rather than dominate them, creating subtle drama that reveals design elements after dark. In the Schrubb project, strategic placement illuminates key features like sheer descents and the tanning ledge while maintaining the clean aesthetic that defines geometric design. Proper lighting reveals texture in materials like Burlington Blanco travertine coping and Bianco Ledgestone veneer, while underwater illumination transforms Caribbean Blue Peerless Pebble into a glowing focal point that anchors the entire outdoor living space after sunset.
