Quick Summary
Selah Pools built a complete outdoor environment for the Jun family in Flower Mound featuring a 15,160-gallon pool with NPT Parallax Blue tile, custom spa with flat spillover, dual bubblers, L-shaped kitchen island, fire pit, flagstone spray deck, and UV/O3 sanitization.
Key Takeaways
- The Jun family chose Selah to create a complete outdoor environment integrating pool, custom spa, kitchen, and fire features.
- The 15,160-gallon pool features NPT Parallax Blue tile, Buff Lueders coping, and Arctic White Mini Pebble plaster.
- An L-shaped kitchen island with gas, sink, and electrical extends indoor comfort throughout the outdoor living space.
- Architectural elements include raised beams at 12" and 18" heights, formal grotto cap, and 30x30 columns defining distinct zones.
- UV/O3 sanitization and natural gas heating ensure year-round comfort with minimal maintenance.
When the Jun family envisioned their Flower Mound retreat, they sought more than a pool—they wanted a complete outdoor environment. The 15,160-gallon pool anchors an integrated living space where architectural elements create distinct zones for relaxation and entertainment. A seven-by-seven-foot custom spa with flat spillover adds cascading movement, while dual bubblers create kinetic energy across the water. The L-shaped kitchen island extends indoor comfort outside, complemented by fire features that transform evening gatherings. Raised beams at 12-inch and 18-inch heights introduce architectural dimension, defining intimate spaces within the broader environment.
Materials & Finishes
NPT Parallax Blue glass tile creates jewel-like waterline accents that shimmer in Texas sunlight, while Buff Lueders limestone coping provides the sophisticated frame this outdoor living space deserved. The flagstone-pattern spray deck in bone white flows throughout the 1,357-square-foot space, remaining comfortable underfoot while aging gracefully. Mini Pebble Arctic White plaster defines the pool's interior character, creating a luminous backdrop for the dual LED lighting system.
Design & Features
The custom spa features coordinated tile and a 2 HP blower that energizes the water experience. Natural gas heating ensures year-round comfort, while UV/O3 sanitization maintains crystal-clear water with minimal chemical intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you integrate an outdoor kitchen with pool construction?
Absolutely. The Jun family's project showcases how we coordinate pool construction with kitchen island installation as part of one unified design. Their L-shaped island features gas connections, plumbing for the sink, and electrical service—all planned during the initial design phase to ensure proper utility routing and structural support. This integrated approach prevents complications that arise when adding kitchen features after pool completion. By designing everything together, we ensure seamless material transitions, proper drainage, and cohesive architectural flow throughout the complete outdoor environment.
How do you create different zones in an outdoor living space?
Architectural elements like raised beams, columns, and varying elevations naturally define distinct areas within the broader space. The Jun project uses raised beams at 12-inch and 18-inch heights, plus two 30×30 columns to create intimate conversation areas while maintaining visual connection across the entire outdoor living space. Fire features, seating walls, and planter boxes further reinforce these zones without creating barriers. This approach gives clients poolside lounging, custom spa relaxation, outdoor dining, and fire-lit gathering areas—all within one cohesive design that flows from the home's architecture.
What makes NPT Parallax Blue tile a standout choice?
NPT Parallax Blue creates a distinctive shimmer effect that changes throughout the day as light angles shift. In the Jun pool, this glass tile catches morning sun differently than afternoon rays, creating dynamic visual interest that standard ceramic tiles simply cannot match. The blue tones complement the Arctic White Mini Pebble plaster beautifully. Glass tiles like NPT Parallax Blue also resist fading, staining, and chemical damage better than ceramic alternatives. They maintain their jewel-like appearance year after year, making them a smart long-term investment for clients who want their pool to look stunning for decades.
How does spa spillover affect the overall pool experience?
The seven-foot flat spillover in the Jun custom spa creates both visual and auditory connection between spa and pool. Water cascading from the elevated spa adds movement and gentle sound throughout the space, transforming what could be separate features into one integrated water experience. This design choice also improves water circulation and heat distribution. When the JXI 400k natural gas heater runs, warm water naturally flows into the pool, making the entire system more energy efficient. The spillover becomes a feature that's both beautiful and functional—exactly what thoughtful outdoor living design should deliver.
Why choose UV/O3 sanitization over traditional chlorine?
UV/O3 sanitization dramatically reduces chemical usage while maintaining crystal-clear water quality. The Jun family's in-line system combines ultraviolet light with ozone generation to neutralize bacteria and contaminants, minimizing harsh chemical odors and skin irritation that traditional chlorination can cause. This technology is particularly valuable for clients who use their outdoor living space frequently. Less chemical intervention means more comfortable swimming, fewer maintenance products to store, and water that feels gentler on skin and swimwear. It's an investment in both comfort and long-term operational simplicity.
