Key Takeaways
- The Betik family chose Selah Pools to create a contemporary geometric pool balancing modern lines with natural materials
- The outdoor living space features a 13,428-gallon pool with custom spa, 36-inch sheer descent, and dual stainless steel scuppers
- Burlington Armani Grey travertine coping and Noble Gothic Spruce Green tile elevate the material palette to luxury standards
- Multiple water features including covered spillover, bubblers, and scuppers create movement throughout the space
- Integrated benches in both pool and spa plus a tanning ledge provide comfortable gathering spaces at various depths
When contemporary design meets natural materials, the Betik residence demonstrates how geometric precision enhances rather than competes with organic beauty. Their 13,428-gallon pool flows from three and a half to five and a half feet, creating intuitive zones for different activities. A 36-inch sheer descent anchors one end while dual 18-inch stainless steel Pure Flow scuppers add movement from the raised spa. The covered spillover at eighteen inches creates visual layers, while the tanning ledge extends hospitality into shallow water. Integrated benches in both pool and spa offer comfortable seating at multiple depths.

Materials & Finishes
Burlington Armani Grey travertine with 1.25-inch eased edge defines the pool's perimeter, its warm limestone tones softening the geometric lines. Noble NSGO 695 Gothic Spruce Green tile creates a sophisticated waterline canvas that shifts from sage to emerald as light changes throughout the day. Blue Surf Peerless Pebble plaster provides rich aquamarine depths that complement the verdant tile palette.
Design & Features
The raised spa features Aquabella Tivoli White porcelain ledgestone veneer in six-by-twenty-four-inch format, creating textural contrast against the horizontal water plane. NPT PRD-Aqua tile in one-inch squares wraps the spa's rolled bond beam, adding jewel-like detail at the waterline.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you integrate multiple water features in a geometric pool?
Water features work best when they serve the pool's architectural intent rather than competing with it. In the Betik residence, the 36-inch sheer descent anchors one end of the composition while dual 18-inch stainless steel Pure Flow scuppers add movement from the raised spa above. The covered spillover at eighteen inches creates visual layers without overwhelming the clean geometric lines. Each feature contributes to both the soundscape and the visual rhythm, proving that contemporary design benefits from thoughtful water movement rather than stark minimalism.
What makes Gothic Spruce Green tile work with travertine coping?
The key lies in choosing materials that share similar undertones while offering textural contrast. Noble NSGO 695 Gothic Spruce Green shifts from sage to emerald as light changes, complementing the warm limestone tones of Burlington Armani Grey travertine rather than fighting them. In the Betik project, this pairing creates sophisticated color depth without overwhelming the contemporary geometry. The natural stone's organic texture softens the pool's angular lines while the tile's consistent color provides the visual anchor that geometric designs demand.
Can you build pool benches that work for different age groups?
Integrated seating works best when designed for multiple depths and purposes. The Betik pool includes benches in both the main pool and custom spa, positioned at different water levels to accommodate various comfort preferences and activities. Combined with the tanning ledge, these multiple seating options create gathering spaces that welcome everyone from young children to grandparents without requiring separate zones. The geometry of the pool supports this layered approach, allowing each bench to feel intentional rather than added.
How do bubblers enhance a contemporary pool design?
Bubblers add kinetic energy without disrupting clean architectural lines — essential for contemporary designs that rely on geometric precision. In the Betik residence, strategically placed bubblers create gentle movement and ambient sound that enlivens the outdoor living space without visual clutter. The key is treating bubblers as design elements rather than mechanical additions. When integrated into tanning ledges or bench areas, they provide both sensory interest and functional benefit, creating comfortable gathering spots where the water stays animated and inviting throughout the day.
What's the advantage of a covered spillover versus an open one?
A covered spillover creates more controlled water flow and visual drama while reducing splash and maintenance considerations. The Betik project features an eighteen-inch covered spillover that produces clean sheets of water flowing from the custom spa into the pool below. This design choice maintains the contemporary aesthetic while providing the sound and movement that make raised spas compelling. The covered configuration also allows for more precise engineering of water flow, ensuring consistent visual performance across varying water levels throughout the season.
