Freeform Pool with Misting Fire Pit

A curved pool with tile entry steps sits beside a stone fire pit trailing smoke, on a light gray paver patio bordered by tall pines.

Design notes

Modern pools are defined by their edges. Look for flush coping that lets the deck run straight to the water, a single paving material carried around the whole pool, and rectangular proportions that line up with the house. Lighting is usually recessed and cool-toned so the water reads as a glowing plane after dark, and planting is kept architectural — hedges, grasses and one or two specimen trees rather than mixed borders.

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
