Rectangular Pool Flanked by Flaming Fire Bowls
At dusk, underwater lighting and four flaming fire bowls illuminate a bluestone rectangular swimming pool facing a colonial Georgian brick residence framed by black shutters and trimmed boxwood hedges.
Design notes
Colonial pools are symmetrical rectangles set on the house's axis, framed by boxwood and brick or bluestone terraces. Look for a matching pair of planters or trees at the far end, white or black fencing that meets code without shouting, a shingled or clapboard pool house, and lawn running up to the terrace. The palette stays to white, green and grey.
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
