No. 101 Pools · Desert & Southwest
Infinity Edge Pool Over Desert Landscape
Beside an earth-toned stucco residence, this rectangular pool features an infinity edge and vanishing edge overlooking an expansive desert view dotted with saguaro cacti, framed by a stone patio with timber lounge chairs.
Design notes
Desert pools are blue oases in gravel and stucco. Look for a rectangular pool with a raised spa, travertine or exposed-aggregate decks that stay cool, corten or stucco walls for wind and privacy, a ramada or shade sail over the loungers, and planting of agave, saguaro and palo verde. Fire bowls on the coping make the most of clear desert nights.
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
