A pool for gatherings needs seating, shade, a bar or kitchen and great lighting. Here is how to plan the whole space.
An entertaining pool is built around people. It has places to sit in and out of the water, room for a crowd, shade for midday, a kitchen or bar for food and drink and lighting that makes evening gatherings feel special.
We plan circulation first so that guests move easily between the pool, the bar and the lounge. Then we add the features that make it memorable: a swim-up bar, a fire bowl, a water wall or a cabana. Sound, lighting and shade finish the plan.
