The Cawl residence represents thoughtful pool design that prioritizes function alongside beauty. The 41-foot by 19-foot envelope creates generous swimming space while maintaining intimate scale within the property's architecture. A custom 18x18 pavilion anchors the complete outdoor environment, providing shade and defining entertainment zones. The graduated depth from three-and-a-half to six feet accommodates both relaxation and recreation. Buff Leudars stone veneer wraps structural elements, creating visual continuity between pool and pavilion. Clean lines and natural materials allow the space to integrate seamlessly with the home's existing character.
“Makes you more grateful for that time and even more grateful to have a setting with which to share time with the people you're closest to.”
Materials & Finishes
The Peerless Pebble Regatta Blue plaster interior creates a rich, ocean-inspired backdrop that shifts beautifully across the pool's depth range. Noble NSDM 636 Escalante Blue 6x6 tile defines the waterline with ceramic durability and striking color continuity. Oklahoma Buff coping frames the pool's perimeter with warm limestone tones that complement the Buff Leudars Stone veneer wrapping the pavilion columns.
Design & Features
The 18x18 pavilion commands architectural presence with columns elevated thirty inches above the deck plane. Sally Deck pavers complete the hardscape, unifying pool and pavilion within a cohesive material language. Dual main drains and a skimmer port ensure steady water circulation throughout the 19,144-gallon volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Peerless Pebble finishes worth the investment?
Peerless Pebble finishes like the Regatta Blue used in the Cawl project combine natural stone aggregates for exceptional durability and color retention. The textured surface provides comfortable footing while resisting staining better than traditional plaster. The Regatta Blue specifically delivers rich ocean tones that shift with water depth, creating visual drama that changes throughout the day as light conditions evolve. For the Cawl family's 19,144-gallon pool, this finish transforms the entire water volume into a luminous, inviting surface that maintains its beauty season after season—a sound long-term investment for families who prioritize aesthetics and performance.
Can you build a pool pavilion at the same time as the pool?
Absolutely, and the Cawl project demonstrates why coordinating pool and pavilion construction makes both practical and design sense. Building simultaneously allows for proper utility placement, ensures structural compatibility, and creates seamless visual integration between water and architecture. The Cawl family's 18x18 pavilion features columns elevated thirty inches above deck level, providing shade while maintaining open sight lines across the pool. Buff Leudars Stone veneer unifies both structures. This coordination during construction eliminates the compromises that come with adding structures later, resulting in a more cohesive complete outdoor environment.
How do you choose coping material for a Texas pool?
Texas pools demand coping materials that handle extreme temperature swings without cracking or becoming uncomfortable underfoot. The Oklahoma Buff coping selected for the Cawl project offers natural heat resistance and stays cooler than darker materials during intense summer months. Buff-toned stone also provides reliable slip resistance when wet and ages gracefully in our climate. For the Cawl outdoor living space, its warm color coordinates beautifully with the Buff Leudars Stone veneer wrapping the pavilion columns and the Sally Deck pavers, creating a unified material palette across the entire complete outdoor environment.
What depth range works best for family swimming?
The Cawl family's depth progression from 3'6" to 6' demonstrates thoughtful family pool planning. The shallow end accommodates young children and casual relaxation, while the deeper end provides space for confident swimming without requiring excessive water volume. This range allows the pool to serve multiple generations simultaneously. Parents can supervise children in the shallow area while older kids enjoy the deeper zones. The gradual transition between depths creates natural activity zones within the 41-foot by 19-foot swimming envelope, ensuring every family member finds their comfort zone within one elegant, unified design.
Why add a custom pavilion instead of buying a prefab structure?
Custom pavilions integrate architecturally with both pool and home in ways prefabricated structures cannot match. The Cawl family's 18x18 pavilion features columns at precise heights and spacing that complement their pool's proportions and their home's architectural character. Building custom also allows for material coordination—matching Buff Leudars Stone veneer across pool and pavilion elements creates visual continuity impossible with off-the-shelf options. The result is a unified outdoor living space rather than a collection of separate elements that look added on after the fact. It's an investment in cohesion that elevates the entire property.
