Sunken Pool with Half-Timbered Pavilion
Beside a Tudor house with steep gables and leaded glass, a rectangular swimming pool features brick herringbone paving, stone retaining walls, wooden loungers, and an open half-timbered pavilion with an outdoor fireplace.
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
