A residential pool and spa proposal for a Eugene, Oregon, family with horses, developed in collaboration with designer William R. Higginson for a local pool contractor in pursuit of a project bid.
The design featured a kidney-shaped pool and spa surrounded by mica-slate walkways and a curving cedar deck extending from the house at floor level. The pool included a curved waterfall slide, a diving board, and colored-tile inlays arranged in organic shapes along its steps and edges.
The landscape, composed mostly of native plants, approached the pool in places. Fences and berms shaped outdoor rooms for barbecuing, sunning, and socializing with horses in an adjacent pasture.
A study model of the main contours and vertical elements informed the overall spatial layout.
SITE PLAN AND MODEL
The pool was not built, but the process resulted in landscape design patterns used in later projects.
