No. 223 Pools · Mediterranean
Tropical Pool with Fire Pit at Dusk
Free-form pool and raised spa lit at twilight, surrounded by palm trees and a tiled fire pit beside a Mediterranean-style home.
Design notes
Mediterranean pools sit in courtyards and terraces of travertine or terracotta, edged with stucco walls, arches and a spillover spa or tiled fountain. Look for waterline tile in blue and white, coping in warm limestone, cypress and olive trees for vertical shade, and a loggia or pergola draped in bougainvillea where the loungers actually go.
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
