2. Master Stroke
Architect Padraic Cassidy transformed a simple pool into the centerpiece of a Southern California home, overcoming existing structures as the biggest obstacle. The 750-square-foot raised pool, marked by a bold yellow stripe, creates a visually appealing backyard with a pool at the center, making it visually appealing and functional.
The final, layered look of the pool and its surroundings—which mitigates a 30-inch drop from house to guesthouse—was completed in 2008.
