Artistic Pool Design


A Historic beach cottage on Sullivan's Island was transformed this summer using a classic tumbled marble paver around the pool. Evan Diament of Diament Builders renovated the main house several years ago and was asked back by the homeowners to add a garage addition/ poolhouse and a spa-like pool area. 



A large barn door style gate is used to open the poolhouse space up onto the pool deck adding visual interest with hand craftmanship. 





The attention to detail is evident in the hardscape and landscape selections installed by local contractor Kevin Francis of New Leaf Landscapes. The blend of grays whites gives a sense of clarity and serenity in this beach house retreat.  

 



I really enjoy how they were able to create a pool that blends into the landscape as if it were a pond or tranquil stream. 



The cylindrical hallway leading out to the parking area is paved with the same marble used on the pool deck. 


The calming monochromatic colors of this marble pavers has become a very popular trend.  It exhibits clean lines and has a very classic look. 





The marble pavers are good to use around a pool deck because the temperature in the summertime is still cool to the touch for bare feet. 


This beach cottage is another one of Sullivan's Island's hidden treasures.


Below are a couple of the Before pictures of this renovation
