The Rall family's Colleyville property called for an outdoor living space that would honor both contemporary comfort and timeless design. Their vision centered on clean geometric lines softened by natural materials — buff Lueders stone creating warm contrast against Blue Ice Harbor pebble finish. The design integrates water movement through dual 24-inch sheer descents that catch afternoon light, while a raised custom spa connects through an eight-foot spillover. The challenge was balancing architectural precision with organic materials, ensuring every element serves both visual composition and daily family life. A natural gas fire pit extends evening gathering beyond the water features.
Materials & Finishes
The 12,147-gallon pool stretches 31 feet by 13 feet with depths ranging from three and a half to five feet, lined with Blue Ice Harbor pebble finish that shifts from sapphire to aquamarine as light moves throughout the day. Noble NAMS 2436 tile creates crisp waterline definition, while buff Lueders coping with chipped edge finish provides generous scale around the water's edge. The 777-gallon custom spa features matching materials and six therapeutic jets.
Design & Features
Dual 24-inch sheer descents generate vertical water walls that energize the environment with sound and movement, while two bubblers accent the swimming zone with kinetic water play. UV/O3 sanitization maintains crystal clarity with minimal chemical intervention, controlled through the IQ-904PS automation system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do dual sheer descents change the pool experience?
Dual sheer descents create vertical water walls that transform both the visual and acoustic character of an outdoor living space. In the Rall family's Colleyville pool, two 24-inch sheer descents generate cascading water features that catch afternoon light and fill the swimming area with ambient sound. The continuous water movement energizes the pool environment while providing a sophisticated focal point. Combined with two bubblers and the eight-foot spa spillover, these features create layered water movement that engages multiple senses throughout the complete outdoor environment.
What makes Blue Ice Harbor pebble finish distinctive?
Blue Ice Harbor pebble finish creates aquamarine depths that shift color throughout the day as light conditions change. The Rall family's pool demonstrates how this finish moves from deep sapphire in morning shade to brilliant turquoise under afternoon sun, providing visual interest that flat plaster simply cannot achieve. Pebble finishes like Blue Ice Harbor also deliver superior durability and natural texture underfoot compared to traditional plaster. In the Rall project, the stone aggregate creates an organic feel while maintaining the crisp visual lines essential to their geometric pool design.
How does spa spillover integrate with the main pool?
The eight-foot flat spillover in the Rall project creates visual and acoustic connection between the raised 777-gallon custom spa and the main pool without compromising the independence of either water body. The spillover allows the spa to function as a separate hydrotherapy zone with six dedicated jets while contributing movement and sound to the larger pool environment. Matching buff Lueders coping along the spillover edge maintains material continuity, ensuring the two water bodies read as a unified composition rather than separate elements placed alongside each other.
Can fire features safely integrate near pool water?
Natural gas fire features integrate beautifully into pool environments when properly engineered and positioned. The Rall family's natural gas fire pit demonstrates how flame and water create complementary focal points — the fire pit extends evening gathering space beyond the pool deck while maintaining safe clearances from all water features. Proper gas line installation and automated controls ensure the fire feature operates independently from pool systems while contributing to the complete outdoor environment. The result is year-round usability, with water features anchoring summer and fire extending comfortable outdoor time into cooler evenings.
What automation features control this complete environment?
The IQ-904PS automation system controls every aspect of the Rall family's outdoor living space, from pool and spa circulation to LED lighting and water features. This single interface manages the dual sheer descents, bubblers, spa jets, and sanitization without requiring separate controls for each element. UV/O3 sanitization works within the automated system to maintain crystal-clear water with minimal chemical intervention. The automation extends to the JXI 400k heater, lighting schedules, and water feature timing, ensuring the complete outdoor environment operates seamlessly for daily family life and evening entertaining.
