No. 62 Pools · Mediterranean
Freeform Pool with Beach Entry and Waterfall
Outside a white stucco house with terracotta roof tiles and columned arches, a freeform pool features a sloping beach entry, travertine pavers, potted plants, and a stacked-stone waterfall surrounded by olive trees.
Design notes
Mediterranean pools sit in courtyards and terraces of travertine or terracotta, edged with stucco walls, arches and a spillover spa or tiled fountain. Look for waterline tile in blue and white, coping in warm limestone, cypress and olive trees for vertical shade, and a loggia or pergola draped in bougainvillea where the loungers actually go.
What to look for
- The coping — how the deck meets the water sets the whole tone
- Where the spa sits and how it spills into the pool
- Night lighting: which features glow and which stay dark
