I
magine walking through your back
doors to a sweeping view of water
brimming into a decadent lagoon.
This local perimeter-overflow pool
is a classic shape with a subtle
uniqueness. Professionals at Lehmann Pools
& Spas worked with landscape architects
to create a pool where water flows level
with the stone deck, giving it a modern and
streamlined feel. The
design team highlights
the pool with mosaic
tiles, covering its entire
surface. Resembling a
monolithic structure,
the spa and jacuzzi
are set above with the
same assortment of
tiles, giving one the
visual sensation that it
is floating. Covered in
elegant stone walkways
and a bright color
scheme, the pool area
is the focal point of this
luxury yard.
In addition to their
artistic approach, the
design was inspired
by energy efficiency.
This overflow pool uses
two half horsepower
specialty pumps (a total
of one horsepower),
as opposed to the
eight to ten horsepower most contractors
work with. Though Lehmann Pools was
established in 1918, the team has an eye for
contemporary designs that are as visual as
they are energy efficient. Victor Lehmann,
Owner and President, explained, "We're
always looking for a challenge, something
that is unique. Anybody can create a unique
swimming pool, but to make it work and
come together is our specialty."
