Dream Pools

Book Description
A swimming pool of your dreams doesn't have to cost much more than an ordinary one if you plan ahead to create a magic environment that's also a valuable investment. Each huge, full-color spread displays a different style of pool complete with hundreds of ways to make it your own. Break away from the traditional shapes by selecting a curvaceous lake, circular oasis, natural free-form, or a geometric response to the shape of your house. Hundreds more options help you consider the best location and views, protection from wind and sun, and color schemes to enliven the body, mind, and spirit. Next come the truly rewarding personal considerations--special attractions for children; lap pools and other fitness features; diving areas; and decks, patios, cooking areas, and furniture. Leave room in your budget for special finishing touches--waterfalls, grottoes, spas, vanishing edges, spectacular night lighting, lush greenery, cabanas, gazebos, and pool houses.

Packed with easy-to-understand information, paractical advice, and an abundance of breathaking photographs, Dream Pools will help you navigate the waters of pool design so you can turn your ideal vision into reality.
