A 300-foot deep homesite provided space for a full-size custom resort-inspired residential pool, which creates captivating focal points throughout indoor and outdoor living areas. Positioned lengthwise on the property and maximizing sunlight, it provides striking, long water views that enhance relaxation and visual appeal from the foyer, main living areas and bedrooms to nearly 1,700 square feet of covered outdoor space with impressive large-format 36” x 48” Elba gray stone tile flooring with two-inch-thick coping.
The rectangular forms of the pool and spa echo the contemporary architecture of this showcase estate in Old Naples. Crisp architectural lines also reflect those of the surroundings, including a guest cabana and adjoining outdoor living room with a cupola roof and a separate square pavilion for dining.
Hardscapes are balanced by lush green lawn areas, inviting landscaping with mature palm trees, and an impactful basalt volcanic rock raised sundeck platform for a cozy canopied daybed that’s accessible directly from the master suite, emphasizing the pool’s role as a private retreat.
Cloaked with a black pebble interior to create a tranquil lagoon-inspired effect, the pool is complemented by sparkling deep navy and black hand-crafted glass waterline tile accented with hints of bright blues. The tile also clads the steps, the spa and a shallow sun shelf designed for in-pool lounging. Coping is slightly cantilevered, adding to the water feature’s contemporary look. The oversized spa is flush with the pool surface and separated by a mosaic tile-clad wall. Saltwater reduces the environmental impacts of harsh chlorine.
The pool is an integral part of the estate’s outdoor environment, providing a serene backdrop for open-air decks and covered outdoor living areas that encompass a summer kitchen, the dining pavilion, cabana and the living room lounge. It enhances the estate’s vacation-at-home ambiance, reflects the resort-inspired lifestyle sought by luxury homebuyers and serves as the centerpiece for a highly functionable entertainment hub.
