Quick Summary
Selah Pools built a contemporary geometric pool for the Kaini family in Colleyville featuring 8-foot Trex Beach Dune sheer descent, 40-foot tiered spillover, infinity edge, raised spa, Milano White marble coping and deck, pool benches at multiple depths, in-floor cleaning system, and LED lighting.
Key Takeaways
- The Kaini family chose Selah Pools for a contemporary geometric design complementing their home's clean architecture.
- Features include 8-foot Trex sheer descent, 40-foot tiered spillover, infinity edge, raised spa, and pool benches at multiple depths.
- Milano White marble pavers, Aquabella Madrid Blue tiles, and Arctic White pebble interior define the material palette.
- The 18,851-gallon pool includes an in-floor cleaning system and outdoor shower stub-out for future expansion possibilities.
The Kaini residence called for contemporary lines that would complement the home's clean architecture while creating intimate gathering spaces. The design centers on geometric precision — a rectangular pool with raised spa positioned to capture both morning light and evening views. The 40-foot tiered spillover creates visual rhythm along the infinity edge, while the 8-foot sheer descent anchored in Trex Beach Dune casing serves as both water feature and architectural statement. Pool benches at varying depths establish natural conversation zones, transforming the 18,851-gallon pool into a series of connected experiences rather than a single vessel.

Materials & Finishes
Milano White marble pavers in French pattern establish the material foundation, their Burlington finish catching light throughout the day. The raised beam showcases Aquabella Madrid Blue 6x6 tile, creating depth and shadow play against the Arctic White pebble interior. Turquoise accents emerge through NPT Ely tiles in the custom spa and Aquabella Star Gemini waterline tiles that shimmer beneath the surface.
Design & Water Features
Black Tejas river rock borders provide textural contrast while maintaining the contemporary palette. The in-floor cleaning system and LED lighting throughout ensure the space performs as beautifully as it appears. An outdoor shower stub-out anticipates future expansion, while bubblers add movement and sound to the spa, creating layers of sensory engagement that evolve from dawn to dusk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you integrate a sheer descent into contemporary design?
The key is treating the sheer descent as an architectural element rather than just a water feature. In the Kaini project, we anchored an 8-foot sheer descent in Trex Beach Dune casing that complements the home's contemporary materials palette. The casing becomes part of the hardscape design, creating clean lines that echo the geometric pool shape. This approach ensures the water feature enhances the overall design rather than competing with it — a seamless integration where the sheer descent serves both as focal point and architectural statement within the outdoor living space.
What makes a tiered spillover different from a standard edge?
A tiered spillover creates multiple water levels that cascade from the custom spa down to the pool, generating both visual interest and soothing sound. The Kaini residence features a 40-foot tiered spillover that transforms the connection between spa and pool into a dynamic water experience. Each tier catches and releases water at different heights, creating rhythm along the infinity edge. This design choice elevates the spa from a separate feature into an integrated architectural element. The extended spillover length means the water movement becomes a defining characteristic of the entire outdoor living space.
Can you add pool benches without disrupting geometric lines?
Strategic placement is everything. The Kaini design includes pool benches at 30-inch depth in multiple locations that enhance rather than interrupt the contemporary aesthetic. We position benches to follow the pool's geometric lines, creating natural gathering spots that feel intentional rather than appended. The benches serve as both functional seating and design elements, their clean edges echoing the pool's rectangular form. Combined with pool steps at 18-inch, 30-inch, and 42-inch depths, they create conversation zones while maintaining the architectural integrity that defines this outdoor living space.
How do you choose waterline tiles for a contemporary pool?
The waterline tile sets the visual tone for the entire pool experience. For the Kaini residence, we selected Aquabella Star Gemini 6x6 tiles that complement the Milano White marble coping while adding subtle sparkle beneath the surface. The key is balancing visual interest with the clean aesthetic contemporary design demands. We coordinate waterline tiles with other materials in the project — the Aquabella Madrid Blue raised beam tiles and NPT Ely Turquoise custom spa accents create a cohesive color story. The result is layered sophistication that reveals new details as light changes throughout the day.
What's the advantage of planning for future outdoor shower expansion?
Smart infrastructure planning saves significant cost and disruption later. The Kaini project includes a complete outdoor shower stub-out with drain during initial construction, making future expansion seamless. The clients provide their own shower head, while we handle plumbing routes, drainage connections, and structural requirements during the build. Installing these systems during pool construction is far more efficient than retrofitting later. The stub-out preserves design options while ensuring any future shower installation integrates perfectly with the existing Milano White marble deck and utility systems throughout the outdoor living space.
