Selah Pools built a complete outdoor environment for the Griffin family in Roanoke featuring a 32x12-foot geometric play pool with raised custom spa, 6 jets, three 18-inch LED sheer descents, Noble NGVC62430 beige tile, Buff Lueders coping and stone veneer, Stone Scapes Mini Pebble Aqua White plaste
Key Takeaways
- The Griffin family chose Selah for their expertise in designing pools that serve multiple age groups and activity levels.
- The geometric pool features depth from 3'6" to 5', raised custom spa with 6 jets, and three 18-inch LED sheer descents.
- Premium materials include Noble NGVC62430 beige tile, Buff Lueders coping and stone veneer, and Stone Scapes Mini Pebble plaster.
- Arena spray deck surfacing covers over 1,000 square feet with slip-resistant texture ideal for active family use.
- UV/O3 sanitization and variable speed circulation minimize chemical maintenance while maximizing water clarity.
When designing for active families, depth becomes strategy. The Griffin pool spans shallow play zones to swimming depths, creating distinct experiences within a unified 32x12-foot geometric form. Three LED sheer descents punctuate the perimeter with cascading water and light, positioned to energize the space without overwhelming young swimmers. The raised custom spa anchors one corner, its spillover connecting the two water bodies with visual continuity. Buff Lueders stonework establishes the material vocabulary — chipped-edge coping providing comfortable seating while chopped veneer adds textural interest to the raised beam walls.
Materials & Finishes
Noble NGVC62430 beige tile frames the waterline in generous 6x24 proportions, its neutral tone allowing Stone Scapes Mini Pebble Aqua White plaster to define the water's character. Buff Lueders limestone appears throughout — chipped-edge coping for comfort and chopped veneer for vertical contrast. The 8x8-foot custom spa features matching materials and 6 jets, its flat spillover extending nearly 7 feet with coordinated tile details.
Design & Features
Arena spray deck surfacing covers over 1,000 square feet with slip-resistant texture that withstands daily family use. Variable speed circulation and UV/O3 sanitization ensure crystal-clear water with minimal chemical intervention. The IQ904-PS control panel manages the complete system from poolside, while LED lighting transforms the geometric form after sunset.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a geometric pool design work for active families?
Geometric pools excel for families because clean lines create distinct activity zones while maximizing swimming space. The Griffin pool demonstrates this with variable depths from 3'6" to 5', allowing safe play areas for children while providing swimming depth for adults. The 32x12-foot envelope efficiently accommodates multiple activities simultaneously. Three LED sheer descents add visual interest and circulation without creating hazards for young swimmers. Combined with the raised custom spa and generous shallow areas, this design serves multiple generations safely and beautifully.
How does Buff Lueders limestone perform around pools in Texas?
Buff Lueders limestone is an ideal choice for Texas pool environments because of its durability and heat resistance. This native Texas stone remains comfortable underfoot even in direct summer sun, while its neutral color complements both contemporary and traditional home styles. The Griffin project showcases both chipped-edge coping for comfortable seating and chopped veneer for textural contrast on the raised beam walls. The stone's natural characteristics allow it to weather beautifully over time while maintaining structural integrity, and its availability from local quarries ensures consistent color matching for future additions.
What are the benefits of UV/O3 sanitization systems?
UV/O3 systems provide advanced water sanitization through ultraviolet light and ozone generation, significantly reducing chlorine requirements. The Berry family's in-line UV/O3 sanitizer ensures crystal-clear water with minimal chemical maintenance and no harsh odors, enhancing the wellness-focused design of their outdoor living space. This sanitization approach is particularly valuable for families seeking a more natural swimming environment. Paired with the IQ904-P control panel and included remote, the system integrates seamlessly into the automation platform for effortless daily management of water quality.
Can custom spa spillovers handle heavy family use?
Well-designed spillovers like the Griffin's 6'11" flat spillover are engineered for continuous operation and heavy use. The matching Noble NGVC62430 tile construction ensures durability while the flat design creates a gentle, consistent water flow that children find safe and adults find soothing. The spillover also provides beneficial circulation between the custom spa and main pool. This visual connection makes the complete water feature feel unified rather than like separate components, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and functional performance of the outdoor living space.
How do LED sheer descents enhance nighttime pool use?
LED sheer descents transform pools into dramatic evening destinations by combining moving water with programmable lighting. The Griffin pool's three 18-inch descents create focal points that draw attention while providing soothing water sounds and visual movement. The LED elements can cycle through colors or maintain steady illumination to match the occasion. Beyond aesthetics, sheer descents improve water circulation and aeration. Their strategic placement around the Griffin pool's 88-foot perimeter creates multiple gathering points where families naturally congregate during evening entertaining in their outdoor living space.
