No. 7 Pools · Mediterranean
Kidney Pool Bordered by Spanish Arches
A curved kidney pool features blue mosaic waterline tile alongside concrete coping and paving, bordered by succulent planting and a stucco home with terracotta roof tiles and Spanish arches.
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
