Designer Jared Frank created a saltwater pool for this 1953 ranch in Van Nuys, California, drawing inspiration from the home’s midcentury geometry. The layout echoes the chamfered angles of the house, with a circular baja shelf and orange penny tile details that reference the era’s palette. Stepping stones and scored lines connect the house to the pool. "Finding this house was like finding a treasure," says homeowner Jessica Martinez. "A lot of people who saw it wanted to tear it down. But we wanted to do right by it. The pool has become a shared social space—it’s a very good hangout."
