When clients return for a second project, it speaks to craftsmanship that endures. The Glaser residence demonstrates how trust builds through precision execution — from the five-tiered stone spillover that creates movement between pool and spa, to the 16-foot pergola with Polygel roofing that defines the social zone. The geometric pool maintains clean lines while raised beam walls provide architectural structure and visual weight. A 17-linear-foot island creates natural circulation patterns, and LED lighting throughout both pool and spa extends the living experience into evening hours. This outdoor environment balances formal geometry with intimate scale.

Materials & Finishes
Noble NEMA 695 Altum tile establishes the pool's waterline with geometric precision, while Buff Lueders chipped-edge coping creates warm, natural seating edges throughout the perimeter. The custom spa rises 18 inches above pool level, connected by a dramatic five-tiered stone spillover that adds movement and sound. Arctic White pebble plaster brightens the interior surfaces, giving both pool and spa luminous clarity that reflects the Texas sky.
Design & Features
Kilm Beige spray deck extends 1,456 square feet across the outdoor living space, providing slip-resistant footing around all water features. Buff Lueders stone veneer wraps the raised beam walls, creating visual continuity between hardscape and water elements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you build a spa that connects to the pool with spillover?
Absolutely. The Glaser residence features a custom 7x7 spa positioned 18 inches above pool level, connected by a five-tiered stone spillover that creates both visual drama and soothing water sounds. This integration requires precise engineering to ensure proper hydraulic flow and structural support. The tiered design allows water to cascade naturally from spa to pool, creating multiple levels of movement that enhance the sensory experience. Combined with dedicated heating via the JXI 400K heater and LED lighting, this configuration delivers year-round enjoyment while maintaining architectural continuity with the geometric pool.
What makes clients choose Selah Pools for multiple projects?
The Glaser family's decision to build two pools with Selah demonstrates the trust that develops through exceptional craftsmanship. When clients experience our design-build approach firsthand, they understand the difference between commodity installation and an architectural outdoor living space. Our process begins with understanding how your family uses the space, then executing with precision engineering and premium materials. The Glaser project showcases Noble NEMA 695 Altum tile, Buff Lueders stonework, and an integrated pergola — details that create lasting value and enjoyment for decades.
How do you integrate pergolas with pool and spa design?
The 16x10 pergola at the Glaser residence demonstrates how architectural shade structures become integral to the outdoor living space. Positioned to provide coverage over social areas while maintaining visual connection to the water features, the Polygel roofing offers weather protection without blocking natural light. Pergola placement considers sun angles, prevailing winds, and sight lines to create comfortable zones for dining and entertaining. The optional electrical package allows for ceiling fans, lighting, and audio integration, extending usability of covered areas throughout the day and into evening hours.
What stone options work best for pool coping and veneer?
Buff Lueders limestone, featured throughout the Glaser project, exemplifies the durability and beauty we specify for North Texas pools. The chipped-edge coping provides slip-resistant texture while the natural stone veneer wraps 45 linear feet of raised beam walls, creating warmth that complements both water and landscape elements. Lueders limestone quarried in Texas offers regional authenticity with proven climate performance. The material ages gracefully, develops character over time, and provides the structural integrity needed for raised beam walls and spa construction. We select stone based on your architectural style and long-term investment goals.
Do you include islands and circulation features in pool design?
The 17-linear-foot island at the Glaser residence creates natural traffic flow around the pool while providing opportunities for planters, seating, or water features. Islands serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, breaking up large deck areas and creating intimate zones within the outdoor living space. Island design considers sight lines from indoor spaces, furniture placement, and maintenance access. Combined with raised beam walls and the pergola structure, the island defines distinct areas for swimming, spa use, and social gathering — maintaining visual cohesion across the complete outdoor environment.
