The 4,699-square-foot home reimagines the traditional backyard by centering the design around a dramatic courtyard pool. Visible immediately upon entry, the pool becomes the home’s defining feature, while expansive sliding glass doors connect the great room, dining area, primary suite, and game room to the outdoor space. Multiple lounge areas, patios, and an integrated spa create distinct gathering spaces, while a sculptural steel shade canopy casts shifting patterns of light across the courtyard.
