New Jersey
The property has a view of the South Shrewsbury River. The site also had wetland and CAFRA restrictions which needed to be accommodated. We designed a bi-level pool, decking, and a patio space supporting a revitalized storage shed, now amenity space. The arrangement of pool and spaces was to focus views downstream toward the ocean. We split the pool into upper and lower levels. The upper pool is for wading pool and has a wide overflow into the lower pool, giving the impression of a fountain; the lower pool is a five foot deep plunge pool. Between the pools is a boardwalk, which mimics a dock into the river, creating a bucolic seating area.
