Plunge Pool in a Tudor Courtyard
Surrounded by herringbone brick paving and boxwood hedges, this rectangular plunge pool sits in a stone-walled courtyard behind a Tudor home featuring half-timbered walls, steep gables, and leaded glass windows.
Design notes
Tudor pools answer brick and half-timber with formal geometry. Look for herringbone brick or flagstone terraces, a rectangular pool edged in stone coping, yew and box hedges enclosing the pool garden, roses and wisteria on a dark timber pergola or pool house, and leaded-glass detailing on any pavilion. Darker plaster suits the mood.
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
