Tiered Pool with Stone Fire Bowls
At dusk, a tiered stone swimming pool displays fire bowls, underwater lighting, and bluestone paving beside a half-timbered Tudor house with steep gables, leaded glass windows, and brick chimneys.
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
