The final, layered look of the pool and its surroundings—which mitigates a 30-inch drop from house to guesthouse—was completed in 2008.
Considering how lovely the pool at the Inn is, there's plenty of reasons to be happy about the Carneros's commitment to green water practices.
The pool feels as laterally finite as the house feels spacious—but the view goes up forever.
In the courtyard, a tension-edge pool creates a seamless, resort-like atmosphere. Hufft took care to make sure the pool looked beautiful so that it could be admired during the six months out of the year that it wouldn’t be used by the family due to cold weather.
The bedroom corridor cuts away to glass directly above the infinity-edge pool, delivering a design jolt akin to being dunked in water.
