This pool encompasses all the features needed for outdoor entertaining including: a baja shelf, raised spa, water sheers, outdoor kitchen, firepit and gorgeous landscaping. Below you will find picutres and an overview from our designer.
What was it about the project that required an unusual level of craftsmanship?
Creating this pool posed a unique challenge: it had to offer privacy while maintaining a strong connection to the home’s long covered patio. Achieving this balance needed careful planning and attention to detail. The well-placed privacy wall and surrounding landscaping provided the necessary seclusion from the nearby golf course. Yet, the design ensured that the pool still felt like a natural extension of the patio, reflecting a thoughtful approach and skilled craftsmanship.
Describe the Aesthetic Appeal of this pool:
This modern pool design skillfully blends geometric shapes with functional luxury. The spacious pool, paired with an oversized hot tub, sits beside a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen, perfect for relaxed gatherings. A distinctive privacy wall, overlooking the golf course, is adorned with two copper water pots and three sheers. Complementing this, the surrounding landscaping further enhances privacy while adding a touch of natural elegance. With its inviting bright exterior and deep blue waters, the design is a harmonious blend of style and practicality.

Get More Out of Your New Pool by Creating the Perfect Outdoor Living Environment
Enjoying a pool all year long depends on several factors, including your climate, the type of pool you have, and your personal preferences. Fortunately, here in Texas our climate allows us to enjoy the outdoors almost all year long. Obviously, when it’s hot outside, a swimming pool is going to be the place to gather and chill out. But it doesn’t have to be only during the Summer that you enjoy your pool and being outdoors. With the right approach to creating the ideal outdoor living area that compliments your pool, you’ll find that you use your poolscape for more than just beating the Summer heat.
Enhancing your pool design with an outdoor living area and kitchen offers several advantages that can expand your overall outdoor living experience. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Convenience and Efficiency:
An outdoor kitchen provides a convenient way to prepare and serve meals without the need to go inside the house repeatedly. This is particularly useful when hosting poolside gatherings, as you can easily access food and drinks.
- Extended Outdoor Living Space:
An outdoor kitchen effectively extends your living space, providing an additional area for relaxation, dining, and entertainment, all of which can be enjoyed poolside. Add some big screen tvs and your outdoor space allows you to watch the big game or enjoy movie night with the kids. As part of an outdoor living area, outdoor kitchens become a focal point for social gatherings. They allow you to entertain guests while you cook, creating a lively and interactive atmosphere by the pool.
- Al Fresco Dining:
Enjoying meals in the open air is a unique and enjoyable experience. Outdoor kitchens & living areas make it easy to dine al fresco, whether it’s a casual family meal or a formal dinner party.
- Increased Property Value:
Well-designed outdoor kitchens are attractive to potential homebuyers, which can increase the resale value of your property.
- Year-Round Use:
With the right design and equipment, an outdoor kitchen/living area can be used year-round, making it a valuable addition even during the Fall and Spring.
- Customization Options:
You can personalize your outdoor kitchen to fit your cooking style and preferences. Choose the appliances, countertops, and layout that work best for you.
- Versatility:
Outdoor kitchens are versatile spaces that can be used for grilling, smoking, baking, and more. You can even install a pizza oven or a bar for added functionality.
- Less Mess Inside:
Cooking outdoors means less mess indoors, which can be especially beneficial during the summer months when you’d rather not heat up your kitchen.
- Enjoy the Outdoors:
An outdoor kitchen encourages you to spend more time outdoors, enjoying fresh air, nature, and the sights and sounds of your backyard.
Here are a Few Examples of Outdoor Living Areas
When planning an outdoor kitchen and pool area, consider your local climate, budget, and the types of meals you want to prepare. Investing in quality appliances and materials will ensure that your outdoor kitchen remains functional and enjoyable for years to come.
Cody Pools has designed and built a wide variety of poolscapes that incorporate stunning and relaxing outdoor living spaces.
