Designer Lindsey Lane made the most of a small outdoor space by creating an oasis with a plunge pool off the quaint pool house. An oversized pool float takes lounging outdoors to the next level, and you never have to worry about tipping over in a plunge pool.

Replace the Fence with a Pool

In order to not obstruct the views of this Sonoma property, architect George Bevin and designer Ken Fulk, chose to build a narrow pool around the perimeter of this home. It wraps around the patio and eventually flows into a larger pool behind the house.

Maximize Every Square Inch

Designer Fitz Pullins wasn’t going to let a modest size backyard stop him from getting a pool in the backyard. They got creative with their square footage and installed a saltwater dipping pool. They even added a seating area to dine at alfresco.
