Rectangular Pool with Raised Stone Spa
Fronting a Georgian colonial brick house with black shutters, this rectangular pool includes bluestone coping, brick paving, clipped boxwood hedges, and a stone raised spa with a spillover.
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
